2020...What a dumpster-fire eh?
But we overcame...we're here...I'm here, you're here...
Hopefully we'll all be here a while longer...
After everything that's happened, we made it to this point...
We survived...but it wasn't always easy.
"Fallen" by Lectro Dub is a fandom favourite...I first heard the Aviator's remix,
and discovered the original later on. For me personally, the track outlines the feeling
of losing one's mind, as everything around you goes wrong; that horrific feeling you get
when anxiety creeps up inside of you, as you quickly begin analyzing all your life choices that
got you to this point, bringing about your current fate. Twilight went through
this process in "The Crystal Empire" (The episode this song was originally about)
and struggled greatly with feelings of failure.
In times like these..."2020 times"...
we may find ourselves in a similar mind-state. Maybe you're struggling not with
failure, but betrayal...maybe someone you looked up to let you down. Maybe you
lost someone close to you. Maybe you were bullied at school, university, or work, and
someone stole your joy...Life comes at you fast, and sometimes it hits you all at once...
I know a lot of people have had that happen this year, and it's a truly awful thing to
have to face...but you've got to be resiliant...In the end, Twilight defeated King Sombra for the
final time with the help of her friends. After many adventures, and many moons,
many lessons learned, successes and failures, resolution was had, and normality was
restored. Someday...hopefully...we'll all be able to move past 2020...it may take months or years
to rebuild...but maybe someday, we'll look back, see where we fell, shake off our guilts, our
fears, and our anxieties, and emerge stronger, and wiser than we were before. Perhaps one
day, this ugliness, this cruelty, this repulsiveness, it will all die out, and maybe...just maybe...
we can cry for all that is beautiful. ;)
