School really makes a difference how I perceive the year. My Social Studies teacher from last year talked about the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey. That feels like 2022, but it was 2023. I can't believe it, really. These videos honestly always make me wanna change the world, make me wanna support what I believe in, but I know I'm too young to do very much. I can't go to protests. I can't do a whole lot. These videos also make me realize how lucky I truly am. I'm not scared for my life everyday, although I do live in the US, where school shootings often happen. But that's nothing compared to what others across the world have been going through. I'm so lucky to live this life that I do, yet I don't even realize it half the time.

2024 MOST LIKELY BE WORST YEAR TO COME. YOU WILL SEE.

[@gosnooky]

I was born in 1975. Judging by some comments, a lot of people are saying that so much more happens these days, and things are looking bleaker and bleaker every year - but remember that we're spoonfed news and world events through our devices all day to drive engagement. I watched footage of the Turkish earthquake for hours, I followed the Israel attack and J6 live. In decades past, you'd just have the evening news and the paper the next day - not a limitless deluge of content on demand. Just as much is happening today as it did back in the 80's and 90's. The threat to democracy and climate change are my biggest concerns.

[@sanaaz2395]

This is actually a rly good way of putting it. We forget that we have constant new access all day. Before it was much more moderated (& probably more mentally healthy tbh)

[@Room142]

same worries here. NATO is more important now than it's been in 80 years and we're starting to get used to the world just being on fire for part of the year. it's scary

[@EricaGamet]

Yes, and we have access to smaller stories of individuals half a world away... hearing their tragedies, etc. So we are absorbing the pain on a global scale. We are taking in more and more pain and awfulness than we used to. If something happens to a child on the other side of the planet, we know all the minutiae of the case and take on the worry and fear as if we were their neighbor. On one hand, it's good to know and care about communities far outside our own... but seeing the events unfold in real-time in a constant stream makes it seem so much worse than before. Awful things have happened forever, but now we know about all of them and take on the weight that that brings.

If advancement is getting lazy and lazier, pretty much worshipping the small screen in your hands, and never going into or liking the outside world until its gone, then I agree. But thats not what advancement is, is it?

I say this every year, and the next leaves me saying it again: 2023, what an unforgettable year you’ve been. Noticing all we’ve lived leaves us teary yet inspired. I only would like to add 1 thing: 🇵🇦 Panama’s fight against mining giant FQM. I’m not sure how it compares to the rest of the world, but to us it was huge. We’ve never seen protests as big as these since 30 years ago.

[@wolfferoni]

Thank you for sharing this because I haven't heard a single thing about it. I'm not too surprised that I haven't heard about it - mainstream media has basically no incentive to show it.

[@keejack2006]

Some big things happened this year. But what about the family who sat in a field under hazy sunlight, and shared a picnic? What about the sound of your friend snoring at night, the music coming from the neighbor next door, the ant crawling across your floor? This earth is so much more than a string of catastrophes or uncontrollably large events. It is made of of inconceivably many small things too, which you are uniquely a part of. These little stories, routines, thoughts and feelings are so, so big. So here’s to a year of your life, too. Thank you

Im really emotional cause at my big age of 28 I finally felt like I was in the know about 95% of these events, world events, politics, pop culture, and underground journalism. There was a time where I would not even vote cause I did not know who was running, times where I knew nothing about Palestine or politic changes, and it was only the entertainment and pop culture news that I was on top of. While the world does seem a lot scarier these days, my hope has grown exponentially past that.

This felt as though it was predominantly six minutes of the difficult news from this year, with a fleeting minute offering a glimmer of goodness and happiness. Remember, amidst the adversity, there still lies a resilient spark of hope and positivity. Let's carry that glimmer into the future, uniting to create a brighter, more compassionate world. Born in 2004, I dream of a future for my children, grandchildren, and all the generations to come, a future where they can enjoy a world brimming with innovation, understanding, and peace, and where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." With this in mind, may our actions today, tomorrow, and in the years to come, lay the groundwork for a better tomorrow for everyone.
