1. I moved back to my parents' house which is better than the situation I was previously in which sucks TWICE!!!
2. It's too cold
3. I'm too happy to make art that isn't shit!!
4. Boobs too small
5. I got dumped in lockdown TWICE
6. Haven't held a sword in about a year now, twitching.
7. I miss my grandparents and they want me to visit them badly but I want to not give them illnesses so I can't win here
8. The election. And the aftermath. And everything.
9. I'm Polish
10. Everyone who's Polish should be locked in a psych ward for untreated everything
11. I moved to a remodeled psych ward as a joke but then it became a de-facto psych ward
12. May I please have money from the fucking governments (Polish, Dutch, US) please
13. I hate screens!!! I Hate them! But I need them to study and work and socialize!!!!!!!! My eyes are going to explode like stupid little grapes.
14. I would like a pet but I can't afford one but I deserve a pet but my pet deserves a good life
15. The Devil and God Are Raging* Inside Me
*like in a rave
*like in a rave
16. Found out my purpose in my family is akin to a diplomat but without the nice paycheck which is dumb
17. Can't go to Japan >:(
18. The Wars still haunt my family. Not elaborating.
19. I have been tasked with visiting certain graves in Germany. Also not elaborating.
20. I JUST WANT A FUCKING THERAPIST BUT IN THE US MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER IT AND IN THE NETHERLANDS THE WAITLIST IS TILL THE END OF FUCKIN JANUARY MAN SEASONAL/COVID DEPRESSION IS NOW
21. Speaking Polish is exactly like the Romanes Eunt Domus scene in life of brian
22. Speaking Dutch is like having bronchitis while reciting traditional Hannukkah prayers
23. I straight up cried on the work holiday party zoom call. who does that
24. In high school I was an alt kid who couldn't even fully commit to being alt. Isn't that sad? That's so sad.
25. Russian is like trying to speak Polish but at the same time you have a mouth full of water and you can't let it spill
26. Living in the Netherlands feels exactly like those 2000s movies where everyone in high school is preppy as fuck and the main character acts like she's different but she's really not but she is but she's not it's the same thing it works
27. THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEEDS MORE WORDS especially curse words that have actual weight
28. HOW MANY FUCKING VIDEO CALLING MEDIA DO WE NEED. WE NEED LIKE ONE GOOD ONE NOT 50.
29. I'm still not sure what a stock is
30. The United States needs to split up into nation-states we cannot continue like this this is my strongest opinion and I'm right
31. England
32. Also France
33. It's a damn fuckin shame that choosing to be in a medically-induced coma is both very expensive and ethically controversial.
34. One time I told someone it was Festivus and they said, to my face, "Good vibes only 
" so this one goes out to you, you usless cunt.
" so this one goes out to you, you usless cunt.
35. The only right way to be a person in the winter is to walk around in the day and work at night and no one seems to agree with me even though as usual i'm correct
36. Lockdown has made me Team Edward unironically
37.
38. I don’t like the number 4. I think it should have a different shape and name. Too pointy.
39. My family’s measure of „was this a good year” is unironically “Does my daughter have bangs or not” so I’m 100% getting roasted tonight at Festivus Dinner
40. My Hamilton phase still haunts my Spotify stats it’s been three years
41.
42. This grievance goes out to anyone bothered by something meant to be lighthearted in such a dark dark year for the sake of maintaining some semblance of morale. Consider this an honor!
43. I got a little too into Pokémon go this year and on one hand I’m too sexy for that but on the other hand I’m just sexy enough for that to be cool
44. I just find it ridiculous that you’re born a person but then you have to learn how to be one I think that is nonsense
45. I just think it’s funny that the same people who are vehemently anti-VAX are also the people who do nothing with their lives, go nowhere, and are therefore the most uninteresting people to microchip. I think they think a bit too highly of themselves.
46. This one goes out to the people who look at some of my art and think “oh wow this reminds me of drugs” that’s stupid please don’t do that
47. Please tell me how the world literally stopped and I still don’t have time for stuff
48. I’m currently walking around the literal backwoods of Staten Island trying to think of stuff to complain about for tradition when in an alternate universe if this whole thing never happened I could’ve been living it up in fucking Greece or something
49. It’s a damn shame I couldn’t see my friends absolutely thriving this year. really hope that happens soon.
50. I have to do a thesis. I realize I chose to do a thesis but I can also choose to complain about it
51. I’m saying this is a former dog walker: a lot of New York dog owners that live in the city give their dogs a very miserable life and they should not own dogs. Pet safety is also really not taken seriously in New York and drives me fucking crazy.
52. SOMETIMES MY HEART HURTS RANDOMLY AND ITS WEIRD
53. I do not have a joker origin story. Unfortunately I’m just like this.
54. I am very tired of growing as a person. I don’t want to stop I’m just tired of it
55. Insanely sad that I had some of my most meaningful social interactions on this website. I feel like I may have been cooler at age 12 when I had almost no friends.
56. My flight home was delayed six hours and after the hell year that this has been that was a proper slap to the face
57. Also my app went off informing me that there was one person in the airport that had tested positive? In order to set off the alarm you have to be informed that you tested positive so fuck that guy
58. Amazingly enough, seeing how Europe handled the coronavirus makes for a decent case as to why maybe people may deserve fewer rights and my mommy agrees with me
59. After a very anxious summer in Europe I surprisingly got surprisingly addicted to surprisingly cigarettes wow
60. I thought living with a bunch of people from different nationalities and countries would be in lightning but all it was was all of us having to listen to our German roommate fucking his Korean girlfriend and complaining in Polish, Russian, Turkman, Chinese, and Spanish
61. I failed three classes this year and in lockdown that was actually pretty painful
62. I am going to take an extra year to finish my study because first of all this is really hard and second of all if I just finished my study this year having missed out on all these experience I was supposed to have would actually really suck
63. I could literally travel the whole world and still be unsatisfied with how much more there is to see so I guess I just have to live like this
64. I don’t really like the color blue
65. I’m actually pretty convinced that I’m smarter than about half my teachers growing up
66. I actually had a really nice looking butt But then I got too depressed to move so I guess I can’t have that anymore!
67. I think the American College system should just stop :-)
68. Also the military
69. Lol. Anyway now for the grievance: none of that this year.
70. My Dutch colleagues are very sexy but they make me feel very bad about myself because I have this foreign thing that they don’t have called a personality
71. Please just give people money and respect. I’m speaking generally but this covers everything.
72. I would like for me to not be so mean to me anymore because it’s pointless actually
73. TELL ME HOW I’M ALLERGIC TO MY PARENTS’ HOUSE this is constant hell in different forms
74. Think about someone from your high school who got famous. Usually those people are massive entitled assholes but when they get famous they actively play victim. Maybe that was Rudolph, and we’ve been indulging him in his self-victimization for years.
75. My mother makes shit like spaghetti squash and ginger shots and I just want to know what happened
76. Absolutely shocked that the mail decided to suck this year. That’s stupid. They shouldn’t do that.
77. Despite doing nothing but watching movies and shows this year I feel like I didn’t watch a single meaningful thing actually
78. I’m at the point where arguing with my parents is unironically a source of joy
79. Why did they make another Grinch movie? I say we cancel it.
80. I didn’t go to college. I attended a four year long social experiment. Now I am at a different, more international social experiment. I haven’t learned anything.
81. I'm actually really angry at this reporting over the new strains found because a) these strains were actually caught in September and b) the virus has been mutating this whole time bc that's what viruses do so I feel like the reporting is doing nothing but causing anxiety
82. My mom just drank the juice that they preserve kapusta (sauerkraut) in. This is a grievance.
83. My head hurt
84. I do not like how even though I am not hungry I want to eat and taste stuff. I don't like that my body allows for that. It is nonsense.
85. I miss Chipotle. I realize that's sad. But I do.
86. Everything I hate about myself usually turns out to be just a symptom of being human.
87. I started Stardew Valley and I kept thinking "this could be my life" but it CAN't because *waves arms wildly* THE SITUAIOTN
88. I don't even wanna tell you how much I invested into Pokemon Go to get to Level 40 to get a nice medal and a cool hat.
89. I'm actually crazy.
90. If I put time in my writing I wouldn't have time to paint but if I put in time to paint I won't have time to crochet but if I put in time to crochet I won't have time to practice singing but if i put time into practicing singing I won't have time for dancing and if i put in
91. For all the times i DID get to socialize this year, I really wish I wasn't too anxious/in my head to do so properly, so I feel like I missed out anyway even though it still wasn't fully in my control.
92. THE HOLIDAY SEASON SHOULD BE PUSHED BACK TO JANUARY.
93. I have these two zits that just won't go away I'm being punished for NOTHING
94. I'm just so constantly clueless about stuff
95. We actually don't talk about this enough, I think. How does American culture make an individual SO self-aggrandizing and YET SO self-hating? It's a space where entitlement co-exists with self-hatred. That is COMPLETE nonsense.
96. I bought Jomny Sun's book that one time because everyone said it was so great and they loved it but I'm gonna be honest I don't think it was even very good.
97. I haven't finished a book in god knows when
98. I know I said it was too cold before but now it is too warm!!!
99. Every day is technically a fight to stay alive. I would just like to sit.
100. And I am now completely out of things to complain about
