2021 Will it be Better?

So, we all know 2020 was a pretty crappy year. Thankfully it is over now, but was it just a bad year?  Or the start to a bad decade?

I’d like to say now that a vaccine is created for Covid-19 that things will get better, but so many people, including healthcare workers do not wanna take it because they are scared because it came out “too fast”.  In reality, it went through all the same testing all other vaccines go through. The only reason it was developed faster was because several more people volunteered to help in it’s making. So the testing and development process was done faster.  I mean, they make a new flu vaccine every year and that has never been unsafe.  The only real problem that could happen is an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients, but if you communicate all of your allergies to the person giving it like you are supposed to do, there is nothing to worry about.  After all this thing was developed by professionals, and a vaccine has never been recalled for being dangerous.

The only thing I understand worrying about is possible side effects coming up in the future, but chances of that are slim to none.  I wish people would just trust the professionals and just stop making opinions that are so far away from the reality of anything.  

I personally didn’t get along with 2020, although it wasn’t all bad.  I got into this amazing school and made it onto the BHS Basketball team (which is very good).  The worst part was definitely lock down.  I don’t mind being by myself for a bit, but being trapped with my family was the worst.  Any mental health I had completely went out the window and got ran over by a semi-truck. 

I felt like I was in a nightmare. Everyday felt the same. It was groundhog day in real life.  All I wanted to do was sleep to make the days pass faster, but alas that worked about as well as trying to break a wall with a plastic spoon.  

So yeah, I hope 2021 will be better, hopefully people will take the vaccine once other people do and don’t explode or whatever they think will happen. 

Here’s to a good, covid-free year, hopefully.  

Also, wear your masks and stop going to large gatherings without them. Yes I’m looking at you Karen.
