When Does The Chi Come Back On 2021

Okay, let's talk about 2021. Remember that year? It feels like a distant, slightly awkward relative you only see at holidays.

The Great Chi Drought of '21

I'm convinced 2021 was a year of depleted chi. You know, that universal life force? It felt like everyone's batteries were constantly running on fumes.

My unpopular opinion? The chi didn't fully return until… well, arguably, it still hasn't fully returned for some of us. Don't @ me!

January-March: Denial and Disappointment

Remember the hope of January 1st? We thought a new year meant instant rejuvenation. Nope! 2021 just chuckled and threw more curveballs.

My chi was hiding under a blanket, binge-watching Netflix with a pint of ice cream. Sound familiar?

April-June: Cautious Optimism and Questionable Haircuts

Spring arrived, bringing a flicker of hope. Vaccines were rolling out, and the world started peeking out from behind closed doors.

But that chi? Still a bit sluggish. Plus, remember all those questionable DIY haircuts? Definitely not a high-chi activity.

We were all trying to manifest a vibrant summer. My attempt? A tie-dye shirt. Results may vary.

July-September: The "Almost Normal" Trap

Summer! Travel! Socializing! But something felt… off. Was this really the big comeback we were promised?

My chi was experiencing some serious FOMO. Trying to cram two years of missed experiences into three months? Exhausting!

The return of "normal" felt anything but. Turns out, my pajamas had become my happy place.

October-December: The Acceptance Stage

As the year wound down, a sense of… acceptance settled in. Maybe the chi wasn't coming back in one big whoosh.

Perhaps it was a gradual process. Like a slow-motion sunrise, barely perceptible at first. Maybe!

I personally think December 27th, 2021 at 3:17 PM was the turning point, but that's just me. Purely based on vibes, of course.

The Great Chi Reclamation Project

So, when did the chi actually come back? It's a trick question. Maybe it never fully left.

Maybe it was just lying dormant, waiting for us to remember how to nurture it. Less doomscrolling, more sunshine?

The real question is: how are we still working on bringing back our chi today? Maybe it's an ongoing project.

Think of it as the Great Chi Reclamation Project. In progress. Always.

And you know what? That's okay. We're all in this together. Pass the metaphorical energy crystals, please!

After all, maybe recovering our chi is just realizing that we can feel good even with a few dents in our armor. Sounds like a pretty good superpower to me.
