Now, comes...2020.
Life was good up until COVID-19 hits. I mean, for some people, it hit them in the worst ways possible. Many of my friends were furloughed. An inevitable situation we later acknowledged especially during this pandemic. An almost 5-months circuit breaker was put in place. The number went down until some politicians decided to overthrow a democratically-elected State Government in the East of Malaysia.
The legally elected Government was toppled. A disappointment I would not want to waste any further energy into. Still sour, as injuries are continuously being added - THROWN - to insult. Period. Hoping for a better future for Malaysia.
Anyhow, life was great despite the pandemic and the backstabbings.
Taylor Swift went out with folklore. It was momentous and then some. Lorde on the other hand is somewhere in the uninhabitable Antarctic. She was rumoured to come out with a new thing. I hope she drops another one! Ribs is still iconic, a household tune. Conan Gray happened for somewhat a short while. Heather was all over us. Wherever she is, I hope she is okay and I want her to know that her feelings matter too. After all, she is an angel, according to Conan himself.
2021. LIT NYE celebration!
The second circuit breaker is almost over. Three months into 2021, life slowly resumes into how it once was. Vaccines are rolling out. The privileged ones trying to jump the queue as if it is a competition. Positive cases around the world are starting to dwindle, especially in countries that vaccinate their citizens early - excluding Malaysia obviously. We have only just begun and even then, cracks are looking.
As for personal advancements, I think I am on a plateau. This feels...safe? Eerily safe, that is.
Romantic involvements, as far as it goes, is non-existent. It feels as if I have been sleeping on a side for too long and it's getting sore. The best I can do is to flip over but oh well, who am I kidding? Because the fact is, I am still in the same bed. Not really comfortable - gotta admit this -, but I don't really want to get out from it?
As I said in the first lines, many things have happened. These were the gists. I would like to be more optimistic than I usually am and say that 2021 is going to be a good year, for most of us. Things are looking up!
