Just stop. No seriously, stop. Everyone on my twitter feed is saying how much 2018 sucked and how 2019 is going to "finally be their year".
LITERALLY, THIS IS SAID EVERY FREAKIN YEAR!
There is no possible way that every year sucks. It can't. Yes, I understand that you can have bad days every year. But, to say that a whole entire year was bad is stupid. I am not saying that bad things don't happen to people, but I am saying that if you are alive and breathing it can't be that bad.
Maybe you had a bad breakup or someone in your family died. Maybe you failed or hit a low point in your life. But these cannot be the reason that the rest of the year is awful. Just think of the people who lost their homes in the Californian wildfires, of young women who cannot have an education in the Middle East or all the families that got separated because of war. Now, these are reasons that can make a year horrible. But, for someone to tweet that 2018 was the worst year ever, when in fact I know that they had a couple of days, is stupid. Chances are, you're just doing it for likes-sorry.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I cannot imagine having a year in my life so terrible that I have to complain about it on social media.
This year has been filled with so many good things: my acceptance to MSU, my high school graduation, new and old friends, memorable times with my family, a full calendar year with my boyfriend and, of course, writing for Odyssey.
Please stop saying that this past year has been shitty. I hope that 2019 and every year after that is not labeled the worse year of anyone's life. You have to look for your own happiness and I sure as hell know that whining about it isn't gonna fix your negativity in the past.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk💋
