Manaal Khurram

2020 turned out to be a rather turbulent year. While everyone entered the new decade with high expectations, the Covid-19 pandemic took the world by storm, leading to all our lives coming to a standstill in a jiffy. Every year, people around the globe make New Year resolutions, ranging from what they want to change about themselves to where they want to travel to their career aspirations. However, this time around, no one wants to have high hopes from 2021 and then be left disappointed. But Twitter is already filled with handful of positive reactions too. Here is how people are reacting days before the beginning of a new year:

 

 

 

 

 

“2021 New Year’s Resolution: I’m not gonna enter relationship, unless I overcome my insecurities,” wrote a user. Another added, “Say goodbye to this crappy year and welcome 2021! May this new year bless us all lovers.” A user suggested, “A friendly reminder that if you play Fine Line by Harry Styles at exactly 11:55:23 on New Year’s eve, he’ll be singing “we’ll be alright” when 2021 starts. I think we all need a good start after the past year.” A user responded with, “I did that last year and look how that turned out.”

 

 

 

 

 

Others want to go into 2021 without any expectations. “No new year resolutions for 2021, we shall cross that bridge as it unfolds,” read a post. Another added, “Good Morning I hope everyone had a good Christmas and Santa visited you all. Now@on the run in to the New Year. Let’s hope 2021 is a lot different than 2020.” A Twitter post read, “I don’t really pray or practice any specific religion, but I feel like I want to put good energy out into the New Year, I want to be less stoic, I want to be with someone, I hope I’m not asking for too much.”

 

 

 

Many hoped that travel bans due to Covid-19 will soon be lifted. “I am leaving travel bans behind because I miss seeing the world. I’m looking forward to visiting Europe in 2021 #RefreshinglyCleanSlate #Sweepstakes,”penned a user, while another noted, “Many of us avoided travel or gatherings during Thanksgiving and don’t want to spend another holiday apart from loved ones. But if we hang in there and celebrate safely once again, we can look forward to brighter days in 2021.”

 

 

 

And there were many who feel we should take it as a blessing that we are safe from Covid. “Marked safe this year from Covid? it’s a second life. A blessing. If 2020 was all about WFH – Having work and a Home too was a blessing. Believe, that you are beautiful, stay kind and keep going. 2021 resolution: Practice Gratitude.” Honestly, we could not agree more! “Bring it on 2021,” wrote a user, ready to accept the challenges that the year may bring. They wrote, “Bought a new WFH wardrobe, going to set family goals and intentions this week, and reorganize the office and closets.”

 

 

 

 

 

Some even listed down their 2021 goals. “Start my Phone Closing Agency – Hit 10k Followers on Twitter – Hit 10k Followers on Instagram – Monetize Tiktok – Get out of Nigeria, Travel – Start and grow my investment portfolio – More relationships with like minds. How about you?” questioned a user. Another stated, “I don’t need to know the entire plot for 2021. I just need to understand if I should buy more hoodies and leggings, or a purse and some shoes.” One more tweeted, “In 2020 we went full swing into #wfh and in 2021 we need to recalibrate to ensure we have healthy practices in place to ensure we can take the best of flexible working to maintain wellbeing and optimise productivity. This is my New Year’s resolution…what’s yours?”

Most agreed on the fact that they will never forget 2020. “Wearing face mask/shield – Lockdown – 80M Covid cases and 1.7M+ deaths – All countries have Covid cases – WFH, online clasess, no F2F – Death of Bryant and Maradona – Google goes down – 190M unemployed wordwide – Travel ban #COVID19 #countdown 2021.” Looking back at the year that was, a Twitter user summed it up by saying, “What an year gone by. No holidays. Several diets. Started gardening. WFH, online schools. Different workouts too. No work travel. Closer to family, farther from everyone else. 2020 matured us, prepared for life! #Happy_Holiday Happy New Year. Better 2021.”
