Letter to 2021

article image placeholderUploaded by @omaniblog
A letter to I will write you out of my life. I'll raise you. That's what you've been good for. Practicing the arts of expunging expelling. Expressing an excremental year. I will forget you. Just as I have forgotten sins of omission, unsuccessful resurrections and heaven on Earth. You had the goodwill of surviving relatives to contend with antibodies. Antichrists. Anti deluvians you're a year infested with antivaxxers shadows. Remembered January Grim God of beginnings

I've got a bit of a habit of putting the year to bed. I've usually called it that on the last day of the year, in the continuous burst of writing, without giving much thought to the lines. This year, I've given a bit more thought than usual. I think I'm slowing down. I

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the past year. I know it's been a tough year for a lot of people, and I'm right there with you. I think that it's a really big learning opportunity. We have really good years

Trying to not be bitter but better

Hey, Paul, nice to hear you and Jared. Nice to meet you. It's really interesting. I guess I was thinking about something somebody said to me, another network is that 2000 and 22,021 were, like, one year. And I think that's sort of true. And there's no doubt that we've given up so much changed, so much loss that we've all experienced loss of familiar things, the habitual things that we took for granted

Hello, Jared, and thank you very much for chipping in and talking here and sharing your thoughts. And I think it would be hard to find any people who would say that this year was an enmissicated pleasure, but it's very good to hear you taking a balanced overview on the year, and I look forward to maybe hearing a bit more from you in the coming year. It's really good to listen to people I haven't met before. Thank you

You being the better side of you anyway. I think I like not bitter, but better. Bitter. Better. There's one of these. What do you call it, Greg? When you like, Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers. Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers. Where is the Peck of pickled peppers? Peter paper picked, but bitter better anyway, the repositioning of life organi

Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much for this open letter to 2021. I thought it was really poetic. I thought it was really profound. But I particularly love this because journaling can be so, so cathartic. And whatever your opinion is or whatever people's reaction is to what you wrote, I thought it was just like a really good look. Like, this is just how I'm feeling about 2021
