2021 was a pretty rough year, though one can certainly argue it was better than 2020. On New Year's Eve, veteran actress Betty White, who gained popularity as she aged, passed away just a few weeks away from reaching her 100th birthday. A hateful year got in one last swipe at us it seems. I can only be cautiously optimistic about 2022, but that's just because I'm mostly an optimistic person, and not because anyone's given me a good reason to be.
