I don’t usually know exactlywhyit rubs me the wrong way, but every once and a while I find myself being a little offended by something that I usually wouldn’t even think twice about....

I don’t like looking at years — perfectly innocent spans of time — as something that can be containers for misery, but a lot of terrible things happened to the point where I’ll join in and say, yeah, 2020 sucked.
