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.
This is clearly an unpopular opinion, but I can’t upvote it because of how horrific it was for a lot of people.
I’m on the spectrum and without that context this post might seem really terrible. I can’t stand it when I see other autistic people glorifying things that are utterly horrific just because it tickled their introverted tendencies. Just because you’re autistic doesn’t mean you’re introverted and just because you’re introverted doesn’t mean you don’t need social interaction. Lack of social interaction will completely destroy your mental health. The fact that you made a ton of money that year tells me everything. Many people were forced by the government to close down their businesses even if they weren’t at risk. Many other people ended up unemployed when their businesses shut down from lack of income.
This post reeks of privilege.
Celebrating unimaginable suffering that led to suicide is one of those things that makes me hate being identified with other autistic people.
