Suzanne Harrington: Let's resolve to give ourselves a break, and kudos for surviving 2020

Suzanne Harrington

You know when people go on about New Year, New You, so that we all feel a bit of January pressure to improve ourselves? Here’s a better idea - how about we don’t bother with doing that this year. How about we give ourselves a break.

Instead, let us big up what we already are, and the year that we have all navigated with such resilience and adaption. Big up to us. To every single one of us who muddled through a year that made 2016 little more than a Bowie-killing Brexit-voting Trump-electing fluffer for 2020, the year that trashed us like Godzilla trashed Tokyo. Crushed us underfoot like tin cans, yet here we still are.
