Forget 2021

Listen, it’s fine to say forget 2021, it was no good, bring on 2022. But. While your 2021 was potentially tough, and I think for many people it was one of the hardest years in recent memory, it was also your year. Nobody else had the same year that you had, potentially no other person has ever had the same year. There is a good chance that in all of human history, recorded or otherwise, the range of unique, disparate and varied thoughts, feelings and happenings that you've just experienced has never before occurred.

Your year was totally unique, and simply for that reason, it was valuable. 

I don’t think you needed to have enjoyed it, nor do I think you had to have grown from it or even learned a lesson. I do though think that if you wish away a year, move it off and forget it, you are wishing away the only life you’ve got. All you really have to do is recognise it, be in it and bring on 2022.
