It’s the year the love of my life destroyed me. I’ll never forget 2021. I still love her. I lost my soulmate.

It’s okay to feel that way, even if you manage to turn down the intensity. You’re still whole and deserving of love, friend.

Intensity has dropped but even as recent as last night cried again. It’s a complex situation that includes us still being friends.

Honestly? I couldn’t remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.

Y’all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?

I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like “wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we’ll come get it in a week if youre still alive then.”

I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like “Whelp, we’re fucked.”

    Yeps. My kids were home and my wife was a nurse going into one of the hardest hit areas of US each day. I ended up working from home the first few months until enough stuff broke that I had to come in. I lost about one person I knew per month for the first four months.

    Fortunately I had accepted imminent death decades ago so while everyone around me was having existential breakdowns I could wander around, hand out hot water bottles, tea, and fuzzy blankets, and see how many times in a row it can be Taco Tuesday before they start to question their sanity.

    MindSkipperBro12 ,

    Yeah, Italy had a fun time in February and March of 2020.

    2021 was vaccine and mask year for me, as a healthcare student. I remember it because I started my internship period, and the human contact got me out of my 2019 depression. I got a pretty good order of rotations and didn’t get COVID so I can’t complain.

    afraid_of_zombies ,

    Remember the first round of vaccination? This like 22 year old gave me mine and while we were chatting he told me how he was in med school. Hey real world experience

    Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.

    • Didn’t have to commute.
    • Saved money on home cooking.
    • Meetings started on time and you didn’t have to walk to and from them.
    • If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
    • Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
    • All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
    • Didn’t have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.

    I lost my job, got paid redundancy, and got double unemployment payments. It was dope.

    thorbot ,

    Oh man we saved SO much money not eating out, even still doing curbside pickup once in a while we saved thousands

    Same I loved it, but that was because it let me skip the last year and a half of highschool essentially.

    I remember one thing about 2021.

    The iMac finally got its colors back.

    FellowEnt ,

    Best year of my life, got over my ex of 20 years leaving me, GME happened, met my now fiancé, got paid for not doing any work for a few months then quit my job.

    Numuruzero ,

    Unfortunately it’s burned into my memory one way or another, yet it still blends into the surrounding years.

    One of my best friends moved out of state and we went to Colorado to send him off, I got back and my dad was sick (not COVID at least), he passed away exactly a week before my birthday. The next month I went on a trip to Vegas through work (I was encouraged to keep the plan despite the circumstances… Ultimately it was a positive experience overall).

    A remarkable year personally in good ways and bad, but another stone in the stream of upheavals in recent years overall.

    Why are you expecting me to remember something that much weed ago?

    AngryCommieKender ,

    Seriously… That’s over 100 grams of THC ago…

    Perfide ,

    Shit, that’s like a pound or two ago for me…

    AngryCommieKender ,

    I don’t smoke flower very often. I just get grams of 90+% pure THC vape cartridges. Takes me 8-9 days to run one dry

    tweeks ,

    I’m using a mood app, and apparently 2021 was one of my best years ever. Isolation, taking hikes, cycling a lot and less social obligations.

    June ,

    I broke 6 figures for the first time in 2021. My income gains over the pandemic were word and unexpected.

    mojo ,

    Was in a deep depression hole and was very isolated. I’m very glad I managed to overcome that.

    Chetzemoka ,

    If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.

    I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.

    Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I’m told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I’ll never forget it.

    That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.

    Globulart ,

    It still blows my mind that so many people thought (and in many cases still do) that the vaccine had some nefarious purpose.

    I remember 2021 mainly for arguing with morons online about it.

    afraid_of_zombies ,

    A guy I worked with refused to wear the mask and get the vaccine. He called me diaperface. He got the virus and afterwards was incontinent. I am a nice guy so I never once pointed out that he was the one wearing the diaper now, but I was so so tempted.

    Globulart ,

    Hopefully they’re a bit more humble these days then. I won’t lie, it makes me happy to know some people like that got what was coming to them. A bitter prick I might be but after watching my wife teeter on the brink of collapse working on the wards I have no sympathy for anyone who’s chosen to believe anything but the overwhelming scientific consensus.

    If you need to believe that EVERYTHING the government does is wrong then you’re as bad as people who believe that everything they do is good. Unfortunately the pandemic seemed to create swathes of people like that who reduce an argument all the way down to absurdity.

    I think in your position I wouldn’t be able to help myself, maybe I wouldn’t directly make fun of his incontinence but I’d probably ask if he remembers when he used to call me diaperface or something like that, just a sly reminder to him what a cunt he was.

    snor10 ,

    Worst year of my life.

    marito ,

    I remember diamond handing some stocks and missing out on some serious gains.

    LordCirais ,

    I’m still holding a share. 🚀🚀

    WindowsEnjoyer ,

    Diamond hands. Never left the game.

    Still buying as it’s on sale.
