WELCOME TO 2021! All of last week, I got a LOT of posts and people proclaiming quite loudly, "2020! HORRIBLE YEAR! So happy it's over! WHOO!" Gunna be honest, I disliked this a lot. I'm not saying 2020 was sunshine and rainbow unicorns (which it totally should've been, just saying). There were a LOT of bad things that happened (*cough cough* looking at you, pandemic *cough cough*) and yes it actually did destroy a year of my childhood BUT. A lot of good things came from 2020.

That's what we're going to be finding out today!
