I don’t know why people always make 2020 sound so horrible. It was great!! I was traveling all year. Everything was cheap; gas cars, rentals, tourist traps, everything.

Traffic was clear and low, restaurants weren’t crowded. I also made a ton of money that year.

It was amazing and I think people speak too negatively of it. It was the best year in the last five years for everything I just named and it was a good start of the decade.

Also I AM BEING SUPER SERIOUS. Only a few people I had this conversation with in person understands the epicness of 2020, the rest make it seem so drab and I don’t know why they had such a negative outlook on it.

    I’m Australian, and It’s up for argument about how necessary isolation was, but it definitely had a positive impact on transmission of the disease and covid deaths. I know for me, while I was not at high risk from covid, it helped people that I knew were immunocompromised. But the isolation had me in the worst depressive state I ever was in, combined with losing my job, 2020/2021 were some of the most terrifying and horrific parts of my life. I know a few people who died of covid too, so it wasn’t this casual sickness.

    I’m glad you had a good time during it, I just think it’s an unpopular opinion describing it as some of the best years, because that’s dismissive of a huge amount of people who suffered hard.

        Nah not for me. It was nothing but a terrible time making me relive experiences I never should have experienced. If anything it made me weaker because I’m left with trauma now and am even more fearful of loneliness.
