Resolutions time of year is behind us now, with most goals being put away as we’re drawn in the regular whirlwind of our lives. Contrary to popular belief, resolutions aren’t inherently bad. I’ve written about that here. Still, they are constantly mocked and have become the topic of seasonal jokes. This is because most resolutions are never attained. Quite on the contrary, plenty of people will forget about them or completely give up on them before February comes. Of course, this has nothing to do with resolutions, but with how they’re set and the person that’s setting them.

It’s now time to say Goodbye 2020! It has been a different year, with the global pandemic changing how we work, live and love. I’m not much into resolutions myself: I believe change is an incremental process and I will still wake up the same person after NYE. However, I think it’s worth looking back to put things in perspective.
In 2020 alone we witnessed a global pandemic, climate change, wildfires, natural disasters, war, hunger, social unrest, abominable discrimination, police violence, political incompetence, multiple threats to democracy in different corners of the world. Check out the New York Times Year in Pictures for a great retrospective in images.
We live in a world that’s broken. We broke the world. And it’s time to take responsibility for what we’ve done and work together to fix it.
