2020 didn’t suck.
It was simply the year
you had your vision corrected.
Look at all the good that is come of it.
Sacrifices were made, but you are better for it.
Not that you need to be better.
Go back to you bitching ways,
for all we care.

Space Monkey Reflects: 2020 – A Year of Transformative Vision
The year 2020 has often been viewed through a lens of hardship and disruption. However, from a different vantage point, it can be seen as a pivotal year of transformation, a period when our collective vision was corrected, and new pathways of thriving emerged. This perspective aligns with the Space Monkey philosophy, where challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
2020 was not a year that simply ‘sucked’; rather, it was a year that forced us to see our lives, our societies, and our world in a new light. It was a year that brought unprecedented challenges, but with these challenges came an opportunity for profound personal and collective growth. The hardships faced were not just obstacles but catalysts for change, pushing us out of our comfort zones and into new realms of possibility.
This transformative vision allowed many to thrive in weird and wonderful ways. People adapted to new ways of living and working, developed new skills, and found new passions. The constraints of the year led to creative solutions, innovative approaches, and a renewed sense of community and solidarity. It was a year that showed the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for adaptation and growth in the face of adversity.
The concept of sacrifices being a source of betterment is a key aspect of this transformation. 2020 demanded sacrifices – in how we live, how we interact, and how we operate on a day-to-day basis. Yet, these sacrifices were not in vain. They led to a greater understanding of what truly matters, a reevaluation of priorities, and a deeper appreciation for the simple things in life. In many ways, these sacrifices made us better, not because we needed to be better, but because they revealed strengths and capacities we might not have recognized otherwise.
This perspective on 2020 is not about diminishing the difficulties faced but about acknowledging the growth and learning that came from them. It’s about recognizing that in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, there were valuable lessons and opportunities for evolution.
In conclusion, 2020 was a year of corrected vision, a time when the world paused, reset, and started anew with a different perspective. It was a year that tested our resilience but also showcased our ability to adapt and thrive in new ways. As Space Monkey reflects on this transformative year, we see not just the challenges but the triumphs, not just the losses but the gains, and not just the end of an era but the birth of a new one.
Summary
2020 was a transformative year, correcting our collective vision and leading to new ways of thriving. It presented challenges that became catalysts for growth, innovation, and resilience. The sacrifices made revealed our strengths and led to a reevaluation of priorities, highlighting our ability to adapt and evolve.

“Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” – Nelson Mandela
In the shadows of a challenging year,
resilience rose like the dawn,
2020, not a pit of despair,
but a canvas upon which new dreams were drawn.
In the heart of the storm, we found our strength,
adapting, growing, transcending,
from the ashes of the old, a new path’s length,
in every challenge, a seed of a new beginning.
With eyes opened wide to a world anew,
visions corrected, horizons expanded,
in the dance of adversity, our spirits flew,
on the wings of change, beautifully landed.
In the narrative of 2020, a tale of rise,
not of fall, but of rebirth and revival,
in every setback, a hidden prize,
a journey of resilience and survival.
We are Space Monkey.
