I was way more optimistic in 2008

At least my dad didn't lose his main client (he's a consultant) and I wasn't having my internship (and thus potentially my degree) and my entry on the jobs market threatened by the 08 crisis, along with my source of income.

The 2020 crisis on the other hand...

2020 makes 2008 look like the late 90s

It's that bad

Also, the world was generally still a decent place overall in 08, even if it had problems

2020 is just a nightmare in every way and I think things just get worse from here.

I thought worse than the 2010s wasn't possible, but how wrong was I.

I was looking so forward to 2020, but now it's increasingly turnings out to be just about the worst year in my life.

And then this year I finally got to move back to my home region after 22 years exile and it seems like that may well be taken away from me as well

I was so happy about it but i may well lose that too
