@@vibhanshuchauhan3328 I saw somewhere that our perception of time depends on how many different things we did in a given period of time (not how much fun we had). So for me 2021 is being endless, since I've been doing so much new things this year
@@hank561 I do actually agree with you. I just don't know how reliable my perception of time is. Because I'm 22, so I probably just feel that way cause I'm getting older.

It's chilling to know that people in the future will be studying past history in videos like these, without truly understanding the impacts on everyone living during these times
That's literally history in a nutshell. Entire centuries have to be summarised to be taught easily so we pick out the ones that have been the most impactful but even then, the emotional scope of everything that occured will be difficult to relay through pixels or pages.

@@selenacordeiro1458 that is a pretty insensitive comment. covid-19 isn't the only thing that has made these past few years catastrophic, there have also been -- as the video shows -- deadly conflicts, record-breaking natural disasters, and a breakdown of the global supply chain. that being said, covid-19 is clearly catastrophic as well. many health systems/hospitals have been overwhelmed, and millions of people on every continent have lost love ones to the virus. whatever idea you're trying to spread about covid being "just a flu", you should stop, because it's unkind to all those people
@@davidfelts5150 No my family’s been through the wringer as well. 2 deaths from the shot a week before Christmas, job losses and illnesses. This still wasn’t catastrophic, it was sad. Catastrophic would be a death rate higher than 1%, like the plague or tuberculosis. Or another world war. Or Pompeii. Those are catastrophic events
I am 19. In 2021, i deleted my multiple social media accounts and cut off those who aren’t good for me. I now only have a couple with the same group of friends/mutual friends. I graduated high school after being a drop out for years, moved into my first apartment with my first serious girlfriend, and we got two cats. I am going back to school to upgrade some more of my credits to go into trades. I was depressed and suicidal, i still have my bad days, but 2021 was a glimmer of hope for me and proof that it continues to get better.
It wasn’t the horrific events this year that made me cry-it was seeing that many people still have hope and joy in their lives. Wishing everyone at Vox and beyond a happy new year. God knows we all need one.
@@animalloverjulian8243 where in the world is time flying by slower? I remember when 2021 just started, then it was April, then summer, then it was December 24th - January 3rd.
Thought this year went by fast and wasn’t great, I firmly believe 2021 was better than 2020. Full stop. Hope 2022 will decent. Happy New Year to all you wonderful people scrolling the comments.
Nah, 2021 was worse. At least in 2020, the first 3 months were normal, and COVID/lockdowns were more of a novelty and were a bit more bearable. In 2021, it was just a tedious, depressing replay of 2020. Completely predictable. Especially if you live in Melbourne, like me, which takes the cake for being the city with the longest lockdown.
Never thought a rewind video could make me cry. Put together very well. This was such a tough year indeed. Wishing everyone lots of good health and happiness in the new year
Love the way that how this video started with pandemic stuff, politics in middle and ended with heartwarming scenarios. 2021 was not less then a short film.
It feels like a big year for the Philippines with Ressa’s (Nobel) and Diaz (gold -Olympics) achievement. Much more these milestones being recognized by foreign media such as Vox is an amazing feat. Proud to be a Filipino here! 🇵🇭
@@Ian-dl2vz An achievement is an achievement nevertheless. I just don’t get it why some people for once can’t just be happy for their fellow Filipino regardless of one’s affiliation.
Usually every New Year’s Eve my godfather, godmother and their children sleepover at my house to watch the ball drop, last year we couldn’t do it because of Covid, so I was really looking forward to doing it to end 2021 but my sister tested positive on Christmas day so yeah, even if she has no symptoms all of our plans are canceled for five days while we quarantine. So I guess I’ll be spending another New Year’s Eve by myself, and I gotta be honest, it kind of just feels . . . Mentally draining to say the least. spending such a big thing with only two other people, sure you can call other people but it’s just not the same. Last new year’s I legitimately cried in my room, it just takes such a heavy toll on your brain that it just . . . Comes out . . . and I think the same thing goes for a lot of people. But let’s hope that 2022 will be the end of this god forsaken virus, for everyone’s sake. Happy holidays and Happy New Year everyone. Stay strong, be happy or something like that, I dunno. Just don’t cry like a wuss like me. Here’s to 2022. And hearing a glockenspiel playing the last few notes of Lang Syne while a crowd counts down at the end of the video hits hard too. It just makes a bittersweet smile form on your face. whenever I hear that song, especially right now on New Years Eve, it just makes me cry. Again, Happy New Year everyone, I wish the best for all of you.
Hey. You aren't a wuss at all. Most people in your situation would cry. Refusing to let it out would be more cowardly because it means refusing to acknowledge your own pain.
I feel u. My mom got a positive test just before Christmas eve. So we couldn’t be with the rest of our family. Yesterday I got an positive test so we can’t celebrate the new year. I would also go to Barcelona in the new year, I can’t go cause I will still be in quarantaine by then.
Sameee last new years even I was exposed and had to quarantine this year my grandmother was exposed and we can't go out my aunts housr like every year 🙄🙄🙄
I never imagine I would get so emotional watching this video. The happiness I had when my parents got the vaccine was just unexplicable, I'm sure it gave my dad a few more months with us before his passing of cancer.
Reading the comments here made me realize I’m not the only one who thought 2021 flew by fast. All along I thought I’ve been doing something wrong cause “last week seems like yesterday” all year long but relieved that we all somehow experienced the same thing. If there’s a word to describe 2021 that would be a “blur”. Everything happened so freaking fast that I have no time to react or recover from it. Still grateful for every little thing tho but yeah not the same anymore. Anyways I’m already crying writing this so happy new year everyone!! 💓
right! this year felt like a recover from 2020 but we're still facing the repercussions of the pandemic and there is too much going on around the world that we feel we are not doing enough but we also cannot worry about everything.
I am seeing lot of people here realising that it wasn't just them and choas of higher magnitude is going around all over the world so it's really nice to know that they get it
I don’t even watch these usually, I watch the google year in searchs every year but today i decided to watch this one and I did notice how america-centic it was 😅😅 but I guess that’s inevitable in the world that we live in where America basically runs the world.
I feel like I had watched the 2020 one just last month. Time went by so fast, hopefully 2022 is a good year for everyone! Happy new year to everyone!! 🤗🎊💞
Because 2020 was so bad, this is the first year in a long time that I have felt like things are improving. IMO 2021 was better than 2020. Let's make 2022 better than 2021! Happy new year everybody.
I think 2021 really showcased humanity’s resilience. Sure, there were bad times we all went through, some worse than others, but in the end: *we made it* We lived to see the year change once more, so let’s keep pushing forward - for the ones we lost, for the ones we love, and most importantly, for ourselves.
this is cinematic. as the year went by, i didn't realise so much happened. it's also like a reminder to keep working on society to make it a better place. thank you vox, this is truly amazing.
Makes me somehow nostalgic looking at this video cuz 2020 seemed like a blink of an eye, yet so many things happened this year. Typo: it's *2021* someone on the reply section corrected me 😂 I'm still living in 2020 😂
I am from India and the 6 min moment makes me realize in the nick of the year how too many things occurred and what sort of things people went through. It makes me cry. My sincere condolences to everyone to lose their near and dear ones. Stay strong 💪 time is the eternal healer of the infinite world
2021 was horrible, especially the past few months where every second week I have heard of sb I knew dying. Seeing the mourning families, the closed businesses nearing their bankrupcy, the division between people regarding vaccination...honestly I am more mentally tired than I have ever been. I lost my closest person in 2019, yet I cannot say that year was as bad as this one. A person can process horrific stuff with the right support system, but processing stuff alone in isolation really takes a toll.
I agree. this isolation is another level. We as humans are born as social beings, losing or being separated from loved ones hurts. Living alone is so hard and heavy because we need other people. I wish you the best and hope you'll find wonderful people in your life again
This video made me cry while remembering everything, all of this was only in one year, but know that it will get better for all of us, be with the one you love, take care of yourself and the ones you love, happy new year ❤️
That was a beautiful summary of the year, Vox. Despite all the challenges and difficulties faced throughout 2021, amidst the anger and hatred against one another, one thing remained constant -- humanity remains flourishing with hope. Here's to a better 2022! 🎆❤
@@Sirzhenshinzxc7199 So, *2022* is *not* a good year? I mean of course other than the war going on between *Russia* & *Ukraine* , this year doesn't seem to be a bad year, it's STILL only around the beginning of the year, cause we have 9 months of 2022 left.
As long as politicians have a say, this pandemic will go on for a long time. Maybe not in the sense of lockdowns, but they'll be commenting on daily cases and vaccinations for years to come.
@@sararistictodorovic2100 Politicians don't have control over how the virus spread. It is the policy, healthcare professionals, infrastructure, and most importantly the citizens itself that determine whether we can beat it.
@@Justin87878 You've clearly misunderstood what I said. I was speaking from a political perspective, and you from a medical one. Which, no offence, is a bit naive. Let's not pretend that the biggest threat of this virus is not the politicisation of it, and as a result, the politicisation of the vaccine, and passes related to it. There are so many other viruses and diseases worthy of causing pandemics, just by sheer numbers; this one is nothing special, it's just the most novel/recent one. A pandemic is more of a political state in this era - as evidenced by recent pandemic laws passed in the Australian state of Victoria which allows the premier, Dan Andrews, to declare a pandemic whenever he so feels like it, regardless of medical opinion/advice. Yes, that happened in a 21st century "democracy". A pandemic can happen without any serious medical emergency, and can be prolonged by something other than the virus - vaccine inequality in 3rd world countries/vaccine politics is proof of that. There's a lot of geopolitics involved in which countries give which vaccines to other countries. Most world powers aren't donating vaccines from a place of altruism, but because it's a good trade deal - and they're not going to waste their time on a country that can't give anything back. There's also the fact that richer countries are buying more supplies and vaccines than poorer countries just because they simply can. If you've lived through 2020 and 2021 and honestly still believe that politicians have your best interests at heart, take a better look at the world around you and reassess it.
@@sararistictodorovic2100 I would say I can behind your statement about vaccine distribution that is unequal towards poor country, while rich countries hoard mjllions of vaccines that can be distributed through COVAX to African countries. As a result, we see mutations was born from those countries. You are right on that about vaccine inequality.
Wow. Seriously, I can't even start to imagine the effort, the decisions, the hours scouring through footage, news and choices all better than each other - then settling on a final list and making the transitions between all the segments so smooth, the music and sound effects so matching. I just can't 😭. To the team behind this: you guys made magic!
2021 was an okay-ish year for me. my first part of the year was just honing over the mistakes i made in 2020 and trying to build myself back together. and then i moved to texas which was the greatest thing i’ve done. when i got to texas i started repairing my relationship with jesus and making christianity a priority in my life again, and now i go to a great school, i’m a football player, and i have friends that i love and trusy
I am glad to hear that you're content with life, at the end of the day all that matters is being content with our existence. I hope you can continue to feel this way, and have your life on an upward stream : )
Everyone in 2019: I can't wait for 2020 2020: Covid. Everyone: Phew, 2020 is over. 2021: 2020 was just the practice mode. Everyone: Phew, 2021 is over. 2022:
For 2022 I’m gonna try and focus more on the things that brings joy into my life because if I focus too much on all of the negative things I risk overwhelming myself and becoming bitter and depressed.
I got Goosebumps.. we’ve gone through a lot the past two years. But we still keep moving!! Let’s protect each other & love our planet as a collective, as the human race!
it was a pretty long year for me, to be honest. i learnt about myself, i learnt that i can't love anything or anyone unless i love myself. it was a year of heartbreak, tears and fears. it was a lot, but i learnt a lot as well. i only hope to become the best version of myself there is now, in the year 2022.
I found it so interesting how the beginning started out good, then it got all horrifying and it ended in a bittersweet way... Also, I was confused to see some stuff here thinking they were in 2020... lol, this year went by too fast, man I still feel like it's 2020...
December 31st 2022 11:16am. 2021 feels so recent and it feels like it was just days ago but in reality 2022 is about to end in just a few hours... Its unbelievable how quickly 2020, 2021 and 2022 has passed. Covid 19 really just paused everything... I am doing the same thing i was last year and its just so sad... I am waiting for a US visa and life is on pause since 2020. I hope i can get my visa and start life soon
In 2021 there were many ups and down but it was better than "2020" .. and I'm happy to see that thing's are getting better in a certain way... hope 2022 will be an amazing year for all of us..❤️

@@davidfelts5150 No my family’s been through the wringer as well. 2 deaths from the shot a week before Christmas, job losses and illnesses. This still wasn’t catastrophic, it was sad. Catastrophic would be a death rate higher than 1%, like the plague or tuberculosis. Or another world war. Or Pompeii. Those are catastrophic events
@@selenacordeiro1458 pompeii didn't even have a death rate over 1%... the affected were only about 2000 people
@@nursararaudhah4303 I can see how you confused that last comment but I wasn’t speaking about Pompeii’s death rate 🤦♀️.
I am 19. In 2021, i deleted my multiple social media accounts and cut off those who aren’t good for me. I now only have a couple with the same group of friends/mutual friends. I graduated high school after being a drop out for years, moved into my first apartment with my first serious girlfriend, and we got two cats. I am going back to school to upgrade some more of my credits to go into trades. I was depressed and suicidal, i still have my bad days, but 2021 was a glimmer of hope for me and proof that it continues to get better.
It wasn’t the horrific events this year that made me cry-it was seeing that many people still have hope and joy in their lives. Wishing everyone at Vox and beyond a happy new year. God knows we all need one.

Thought this year went by fast and wasn’t great, I firmly believe 2021 was better than 2020. Full stop. Hope 2022 will decent. Happy New Year to all you wonderful people scrolling the comments.
Nope 2021 was so much worse than 2020. Infact it was the worst year for me.
I'm saying 2021 went by so quickly what the heck. But this year wasn't that great. Better than 2020 thought 100% lol.
Nah, 2021 was worse. At least in 2020, the first 3 months were normal, and COVID/lockdowns were more of a novelty and were a bit more bearable. In 2021, it was just a tedious, depressing replay of 2020. Completely predictable. Especially if you live in Melbourne, like me, which takes the cake for being the city with the longest lockdown.
My town burned down, not really liking 2021
I agree, 2021 wasn’t that good, but its better than 2020 for most people, some people probably felt worst, that’s understandable

It feels like a big year for the Philippines with Ressa’s (Nobel) and Diaz (gold -Olympics) achievement. Much more these milestones being recognized by foreign media such as Vox is an amazing feat. Proud to be a Filipino here! 🇵🇭

Usually every New Year’s Eve my godfather, godmother and their children sleepover at my house to watch the ball drop, last year we couldn’t do it because of Covid, so I was really looking forward to doing it to end 2021 but my sister tested positive on Christmas day so yeah, even if she has no symptoms all of our plans are canceled for five days while we quarantine. So I guess I’ll be spending another New Year’s Eve by myself, and I gotta be honest, it kind of just feels . . . Mentally draining to say the least. spending such a big thing with only two other people, sure you can call other people but it’s just not the same. Last new year’s I legitimately cried in my room, it just takes such a heavy toll on your brain that it just . . . Comes out . . . and I think the same thing goes for a lot of people. But let’s hope that 2022 will be the end of this god forsaken virus, for everyone’s sake. Happy holidays and Happy New Year everyone. Stay strong, be happy or something like that, I dunno. Just don’t cry like a wuss like me. Here’s to 2022.
And hearing a glockenspiel playing the last few notes of Lang Syne while a crowd counts down at the end of the video hits hard too. It just makes a bittersweet smile form on your face. whenever I hear that song, especially right now on New Years Eve, it just makes me cry. Again, Happy New Year everyone, I wish the best for all of you.
Hey. You aren't a wuss at all. Most people in your situation would cry. Refusing to let it out would be more cowardly because it means refusing to acknowledge your own pain.
I feel u. My mom got a positive test just before Christmas eve. So we couldn’t be with the rest of our family. Yesterday I got an positive test so we can’t celebrate the new year. I would also go to Barcelona in the new year, I can’t go cause I will still be in quarantaine by then.
Sameee last new years even I was exposed and had to quarantine this year my grandmother was exposed and we can't go out my aunts housr like every year 🙄🙄🙄
I cry like a wuss like you. So I guess it’s okay! Here’s to beautiful 2022 ahead! 🥂🎉

Reading the comments here made me realize I’m not the only one who thought 2021 flew by fast. All along I thought I’ve been doing something wrong cause “last week seems like yesterday” all year long but relieved that we all somehow experienced the same thing. If there’s a word to describe 2021 that would be a “blur”. Everything happened so freaking fast that I have no time to react or recover from it. Still grateful for every little thing tho but yeah not the same anymore.
Anyways I’m already crying writing this so happy new year everyone!! 💓

As long as politicians have a say, this pandemic will go on for a long time. Maybe not in the sense of lockdowns, but they'll be commenting on daily cases and vaccinations for years to come.
@@sararistictodorovic2100 Politicians don't have control over how the virus spread. It is the policy, healthcare professionals, infrastructure, and most importantly the citizens itself that determine whether we can beat it.
@@Justin87878 You've clearly misunderstood what I said. I was speaking from a political perspective, and you from a medical one. Which, no offence, is a bit naive. Let's not pretend that the biggest threat of this virus is not the politicisation of it, and as a result, the politicisation of the vaccine, and passes related to it. There are so many other viruses and diseases worthy of causing pandemics, just by sheer numbers; this one is nothing special, it's just the most novel/recent one. A pandemic is more of a political state in this era - as evidenced by recent pandemic laws passed in the Australian state of Victoria which allows the premier, Dan Andrews, to declare a pandemic whenever he so feels like it, regardless of medical opinion/advice. Yes, that happened in a 21st century "democracy". A pandemic can happen without any serious medical emergency, and can be prolonged by something other than the virus - vaccine inequality in 3rd world countries/vaccine politics is proof of that. There's a lot of geopolitics involved in which countries give which vaccines to other countries. Most world powers aren't donating vaccines from a place of altruism, but because it's a good trade deal - and they're not going to waste their time on a country that can't give anything back. There's also the fact that richer countries are buying more supplies and vaccines than poorer countries just because they simply can. If you've lived through 2020 and 2021 and honestly still believe that politicians have your best interests at heart, take a better look at the world around you and reassess it.
@@sararistictodorovic2100 I would say I can behind your statement about vaccine distribution that is unequal towards poor country, while rich countries hoard mjllions of vaccines that can be distributed through COVAX to African countries. As a result, we see mutations was born from those countries. You are right on that about vaccine inequality.
