So, it's March again.

Somehow it's been almost a full year since since the coronavirus was first declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 and we retreated into our homes as lockdowns and stay-at-home orders sprang up across the globe.

Where the sweet hell have the past 12 months gone? For the most part, it's been a time marked by grief and mourning, a whole year characterised by significant changes to our lives and jobs, elongated restrictions on social connection, and constant strain on our physical, mental, and emotional health and wellbeing. Suffice to say, what even is time now?

With the arrival of March marking the start of yet another year featuring this ongoing pandemic, the first of the month sent Twitter into a spiral of realisation on Monday.

Yes, it is absolutely March again.

Some people were in flat-out denial.

Others were outraged.

Some people couldn't do the maths.

And finally, some approached the whole thing with a kind of weary acceptance.

Look, March, normally you're a joyful harbinger of spring, but this year (and like last year), things are different. But hey, while Twitter has at times been a black hole of anxiety during this pandemic, at least we've got memes to help us process this strange twilight existence we're still living in.

And though the arrival of March is indeed perplexing, it's also a moment to practice gratitude after what's been a grim and hellish year.
