THREAD: Alright, some real talk. The TL;DR -- I actually had a tremendous year and, from a historical perspective, 2020 was not the worst year in human history (even though it was quite bad overall -- look it up). #NewYearsEve

I continued to live a dream career at NewsBusters cited by people I could have only dreamed of, named the employee of the year, and another year in which I'm thankful for my health, therapist, church, parents, and stamina. I've continued to be a voice for mental health...

...and a small part of the political world where people -- for some reason -- listen and care about what I have to say. Many times, I've felt run down, used, and wasn't sure whether my life was worth it (but not anything like 2015 and 2016). I've also worked more than ever.

But here I am, even though I'm alone in Lancaster with parents asleep and I'm not with my usual crew. I've been knocked down a few times and felt used, but I've emerged stronger and grateful for God's many blessings that I truly do not deserve. God IS STILL in the boat with us!

I'm immensely grateful for my family, my work family, my friends (YAM, PSU friends), extended family, my girlfriend, VPC family, you all here on Twitter dot com (including my haters!), media friends and adversaries (including -- believe it or not -- CNN!), and countless others.

Let's make 2021 a year to remember in the best way possible! #HappyNewYear2021
