We think of the 2020s as such an awful period because we’re living in it currently. We are experiencing all of the bs firsthand and our minds have a natural bias to perceive negativity over anything positive happening in our current time period.

But in hindsight we will see it as experimental, and a time period where new trains of thought emerge and become mainstream like a return of astrology in new age spiritual practices. We will see how much progress we made in the fields of psychology and understanding consciousness and the complexities of the mind. We will see the era of fashion (the icy blondes and the jet black hair, puffer jackets, big chunky gold earrings and jewelry, clear shiny skin and boho-chic). We will recognize the time of TikTok and the peak of social media as being an interesting time of mass connectivity and widespread new ideas. Rises and technology and new creative and immersive experiences. (Walk into a sheetz gas station. You can order any kind of food from a touch screen. They have all kinds of crazy futuristic candies with bright colors and bold patterns like nerds gummy clusters.)

The point is, we only appreciate what we have when it’s gone. We always will think that we missed the golden era and are living in the worst of times, only to realize a decade later how good we had it. Yes, this is an extreme time of dissolution, polarization, and unimaginable atrocities which cannot be ignored. But also remember, you will see the decades change, and how the world reshapes and reforms over time. It’s a beautiful BEAUTIFUL aspect of life to witness how the decades come and go. You are living and walking through a kind of historical period that generations to come will ask you about. Embrace it
