2020 turned out to be a rather turbulent year. While everyone entered the new decade with high expectations, the Covid-19 pandemic took the world by storm, leading to all our lives coming to a standstill in a jiffy. Every year, people around the globe make New Year resolutions, ranging from what they want to change about themselves to where they want to travel to their career aspirations. However, this time around, no one wants to have high hopes from 2021 and then be left disappointed. But Twitter is already filled with handful of positive reactions too. Here is how people are reacting days before the beginning of a new year:

My new year's resolution is to "burn three bridges". The fist went up in flames this week, and it isn't even 2021.
On schedule, under budget, and total.

Many of us avoided travel or gatherings during Thanksgiving and don't want to spend another holiday apart from loved ones. But if we hang in there and celebrate safely once again, we can look forward to brighter days in 2021.

Many hoped that travel bans due to Covid-19 will soon be lifted. “I am leaving travel bans behind because I miss seeing the world. I’m looking forward to visiting Europe in 2021 #RefreshinglyCleanSlate #Sweepstakes,”penned a user, while another noted, “Many of us avoided travel or gatherings during Thanksgiving and don’t want to spend another holiday apart from loved ones.

And there were many who feel we should take it as a blessing that we are safe from Covid. “Marked safe this year from Covid? it’s a second life. A blessing. If 2020 was all about WFH – Having work and a Home too was a blessing. Believe, that you are beautiful, stay kind and keep going. 2021 resolution: Practice Gratitude.” Honestly, we could not agree more! “Bring it on 2021,” wrote a user, ready to accept the challenges that the year may bring. They wrote, “Bought a new WFH wardrobe, going to set family goals and intentions this week, and reorganize the office and closets.”

How about you?” questioned a user. Another stated, “I don’t need to know the entire plot for 2021. I just need to understand if I should buy more hoodies and leggings, or a purse and some shoes.” One more tweeted, “In 2020 we went full swing into #wfh and in 2021 we need to recalibrate to ensure we have healthy practices in place to ensure we can take the best of flexible working to maintain wellbeing and optimise productivity.
