It seems that most people are in consensus that 2016 really fucked all of us, hard.
We’ve had one of the most controversial elections in recent history, along with some big European drama that ended in a harsh break up.
The year 2016 pushed many to their breaking points, and made people question their family and friends’ morals and ideals. One thing that was made clear in 2016, is that this country is still run with a lot of racism, bigotry, and prejudices.
It opened the eyes of many and exposed many more for who they truly are.
Not only did we have to greet an idiot with a bad spray-on as our new leader; but we also have to say goodbye to one of the strongest and most uplifting presidents we have had for some time: President Barack Obama.
It took away several personalities and celebrities that were loved by many like Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, George Michael, and Carrie Fischer just to name a few.
It was a year that really tested our patience as a nation when multiple injustices happened repeatedly across the country. From the unspeakable events that transpired in Orlando; to a young man by the name of Brock Turner getting a slap on the wrist as punishment for an offense that deserved years of incarceration.
But 2016 did not stop there, it had pushed our patience even further, when police shootings happened so often; that city streets would fill with the blood of the innocent and profiled.
And even that would not be enough for this year; we also saw the destruction of the homes and lives of thousands in Syria and across the world. There was also an allowance of terrorists groups like ISIS to run their operations and do as they please with whomever they pleased.
So yeah, 2016 really fucked us over, but it also made us stronger. It made us stronger mentally, it made us stronger physically, and it made us stronger as a generation. The year 2016 gave us millennials the opportunity to voice our opinions, and oppose the power when we saw fit and just to do so. In 2016, we gained the experience and the strength needed to fight back.
Our fight has just begun, and we have not seen the worst of it but we’re not backing down any time soon. This year will not have resolutions, but revolutions!
2017 watch your back -- cause we’re pissed and we’re out for blood.
