I received a highlight for this year. It was a photo of myself bruised up from a vehicle collision. Just bruises.
I found this amusing and wondered if this would be a fitting interpretation of everyone’s year.

The metaphorical image of me being on a tiny boat lost at sea, alone, zero clue where I am, trying to find safe haven, then as my boat is drifting, I see a battle between two opposing navies, they both see me, and both immediately turns their guns towards me.
One of the gunboats is flying the 5-Star Red Flag. The other gunboat flies the Star Spangled Banner. I am unarmed, and there is no weapons on my tiny boat. My boat is flying a white flag.
There are other navies sailing by and they all just watched and decided not to intervene in a defenceless little boat being attacked by two nations.
That’s me on that tiny boat.
Alone.
Crying.
No one with me. No family. No friends. No one who I can lean my shoulder on while I face imminent defeat. Under attack from the world’s two most powerful nations. Abandoned by everyone.
That’s basically how I’m feeling right now.
No safe haven. No one wants me.
