Idk man, 2022 didn't fuck around?
The Queen dies;
Jair Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, and decides to go away WITHOUT trying a coup (this was not a given)
Putin gets his ass kicked in Ukraine, the world comes together to oppose him;
The GOP's much hyped "Red Wave" in the American midterms is a Big Lol; now they have to contend with the Talented Mr. Santos and the constant clown show that will be a Republican House and Kevin McCarthy trying DESPERATELY to get elected speaker;
The Democrats kept the Senate and even added a seat, while capping off a year of big and meaningful legislative accomplishments; hence if certain unnamed SCOTUS justices snuff it in the next two years, they can fill that seat;
The Tories, after an absolutely laugh-so-you-don't cry year of absolutely surreal comedic incompetence inflicted on the people of Britain, are an average of 26 points behind in general opinion polls;
Sex trafficker and all around miserable misogynist Andrew Tate tries to pick a fight with Greta Thunberg, self owns to an amazing degree, is now being held in a Romanian prison for another month after stupidly giving his location away via pizza box;
Former Pope Benedict XVI, aka a decades-long enforcer of sexual abuse coverups in the Catholic Church as well as various other reprehensible moral positions, kicks the bucket (on the last day of the year)
A new climate deal was made;
And so on.
I mean, various other bad things very much still did happen, and it was a tough year for a lot of us on a personal level, but this is the first year since probably 2016 where it feels like there's actually a bit of hope for the future on a big structural level, and I appreciate that.

On this day, October 7
In 2022: My Chemical Romance performed their 52nd show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. At this show, an unreleased song (titled "Smeagles" on the paper setlist) was performed for the 6th time ever, with new lyrics, and "My Whole Heart" was written on the drums. (🖤)
Watch the show here!

"You're afraid. So am I. But you know what?
My fear... it doesn't get to decide. It doesn't get to define me. I'm not giving it the power. I'm giving it to you.
I have never believed in anything my whole life. I believe in you."
