2020 - 2021 Crossroads : End or a New Beginning?


Today is 31 December the last day of 2020... Finally!!! It must be your first thought that finally it ended probably the best thing about 2020 is that it ended... Because somewhere in the middle of it we all felt that what if it lasts there's an old saying that 'After every dark night There's a brighter day' it says to hold on to the threads of hope that the night will certainly end no matter how dark it is, it always end up in daylight. But it's also true that the darkness has a certain loneliness beneath it's surface night is filled with uncertainties much like the year 2020.



Hope was caged suffocating behind the closed doors seeking the light of the day silence was heavy in the air  No bikes, no cars, no buses, no trains not a single person in sight just an enlarge amount of Silence was spread everywhere. The only thing that cut throught that silence was the occasional sirens of Ambulances and as those sirens fades off something new can be felt in the air and that was the feeling of grief. 

A grief so sincere and huge that it polluted the air no less than the virus itself. I don't even want to get in to the details of what exactly went down everyone knows exactly what kind of tragedy had fallen on the earth from the skies in 2020. We wish that those who had fallen this year may find their peace.

But there's a question what does this ending mean, what does the ending of year 2020 mean... Does the end of the year also meant the end of our problems. No one had any idea on the day of 31-12-2019 that what 2020 has in store for us all. I can bet no one could've predicted this much. 

The year was challenging, the most challenging year of my life & I can say it was the same for the most of the population so there's indeed a releif that this year is done for. We have faced some of the major crisis of our time this year even getting through this year safe & soundly is worth a trophy (Shout out to all the survivors!!!) 

But the real concern is will this really be the end of it. The night that 2020 had brought, will 2021 be able to bring a day of it..... & If not then how will we prepare ourselves for that you could never  perceive exactly how a whole year is gonna be? We must hold onto the fragile hands of hope & walk with it together into the new year. People say one should rejuvenate themselves at the starting of the new year it's better to leave the past in the past so we can start anew, a fresh start in the new year but will it be possible to easily walkaway from year 2020 definitely not.

But truth be told this year is afterall ending tomorrow will be a new day from the point we are now standing it's hard to tell what kind of change the change of dates will bring. World is at the Crossroads and we need to go ahead and also we need to decide exactly what we will take with us in 2021 and what we better leave behind it'll be different set of things for each individual. 

but there should be something common we should leave the immense amount of grief in this year, entering a new year with a heavy heart doesn't feel right, we better leave the fears behind that haunted us the whole year, the frustration, the uncertainty, the loneliness let it all stay in the ending of this year and something that we must take with us should be the courage that was shown, the courage to fight with an invisible enemy that seems to be everywhere, the persistency that we showed in this lengthy almost never ending battle, the bravery should be remembered, 

and in the end we must remember the lessons 2020 taught us through the hardships & challenges we must remember where we had been in this year by doing so we will be able to appreciate the new place that 2021 have to offer a better place of mind & soul the darkness does helps in appreciating the light you will never really know what a great blessing the light is if you've never seen the terrors of the dark. 

Although there are many questions in everyone's mind today and only the time can give the answers of those questions.. but I do have a suggestion we have been through 2020 & we have successfully made it here in 2021 we have touched the bottom of the pit & from here, there's only one way and that goes up. For 2021 I just have these words for everyone...

"We should hope for the best & prepare ourselves for the worst"

'What in the world..?' 'That's right, what in the world..?' 'We should hurry and grab some water buckets we can still stop the fire.' Mary spoke hurriedly. 'It's too late.' Jenna spoke in a final tone. 'But..' 'It's too late Mary, there is nothing left to save here, all the grains for this year is already burnt.' Natalia explained. 'That means we will go hungry..' Mary thought 'We will die.. Nat!' Mary exclaimed.  It was not that far from the truth, it was actually a very real possibility. Amarat was a country which doesn't had very much fertile lands. Most of the landmass included rocky mountains, steep cliffs, thousand years old rock and granite caves, the country had many mountains and suffered from frequent volcanic eruptions over a long period of time the forests and farming lands developed but still they were about 17% of the whole surface area that's the reason why food cultivation an...

Strangers on the internet are still strangers

Strangers on the internet are still strangers That line right there, I want to drill that line in the minds of every teenager using the internet. Because the balatant ignorance of that little fact, is not healthy. I know that back in the days, one important reason for  the internet to exist, was that it can connect people from all over the world, and it still is..  But we can't ignore the increased rate of cyber bullying & cyber crimes in the past decade. Connecting with strangers comes with it's own set of benefits and downfalls. Benefits such as broadening of the horizon, new perspective, exposure to different things, culture, people and perspectives which is all very nice but the downfalls can be so very drastic.. And if you are like me who doesn't like anything drastic, you take caution; for safety reasons ofcourse.. So first thing first never take anything on the internet literally, like NEVER EVER. Because no matter how much relatable content you have ...

I was sitting at a bus stop earphone plugged in, and lost in another world of melodious ecstasy, but the city around me wasn't lost they were pretty much woke, as  people roam around without a care in the world. The theme of the night was definitely free spirited, before something else took over whispers, shouts, camera shuttering and alot of yelling and cursing. "They took every term necessary." "She deserved it!" "Did you saw her face! must be hard walking out of the studio she ruled for more than a decade." "She had completely lost it!" "The money had gotten to her head." "She was so rude and undeserving." "I'm actually so happy it was a long time coming." "She was no struggler she was a rich brat gone lucky."  "Honestly I can't stand her. This is not enough, they are only cancelling her show! I want her banned!!" "I know right.." "So as you can see people...
