We are a month and a half away from 2020. Let that realisation sink in.
No, wait. We are a month and a half away from completing an entire decade. Let that sink in first!
Are you one of those people who instantly get a panic attack thinking that the year is about to come to an end? If you are, then welcome to the club! Because for people who major in procrastination, year-end is a time when it suddenly dawns upon us that we could have achieved so much more when the only laud-worthy thing we did was fix the washing machine (No, I’m not talking about myself).
Speaking of which, one person on Twitter asked what have we accomplished so far, you know, considering the decade is ending. Have a look at his tweet:

love seeing everyone's accomplishments of the decade but I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night so I don't think I'll be participating in it pic.twitter.com/lmBP6kKNCL

This "end of the decade accomplishments" trend is cool, but I'm sad now lmao.

You feel crippling inadequacy when you try to list your own accomplishments and have now fallen into the deep hole that is an existential crisis, questioning what you're doing with your life and why were put here in the first place
No? Just me then?

this tweet has mostly made me think about how my idea of "accomplishment" has changed. At the start of the decade i achieved a lot of things that count as conventional "accomplishments" but they feel meaningless compared to the more prosaic changes in my life since https://t.co/y7q9UI9j5o

idk what this says about me but i honestly think my two biggest accomplishments of the decade are
1. my portfolio of alarmingly similar pictures of my dog
2. buying and rocking that star suit I wore at my launchidk this one's been good to me

Let your lives not be judged by conventional accomplishments. As long as you are happy, life is worth it.
Having said that, BRB, crying.
