Unfortunately, it appears we were cursed to live in interesting times.

Personally I consider myself to be blessed to be living in these times. Eight years might sound a long time for many people, esp. young ones. I have lived many decades and I hope I have many decades ahead of me. These 8 years will feel like a lightening flash - a unique experience that no one before us and no one after us (and many of us) would never get to experience.

I would not give it up, no matter how many heartbreaking moments we have had, no matter how frustrating this has been. Never gonna exchange it for anything else.

Those who are born in future, into the free world, will always look at us with that envy of those who missed all the fun, so better get our stories right and dazzle them.
