Pandemic was unexpected, no one sees this coming. When I look outside, the fears and anxiety are waving at me. The country around us and the city around us is a lockdown, I can’t even explain the feeling of being in an isolated area. The first week of the lockdown I entertain myself, I made a new routine but then again it wasn’t enough. The anxiety still there and I don’t know how to manage it because I can’t go outside to hang out with my friends and to distract myself.
Living under the Covid-19 pandemic isn’t easy. This pandemic affects my emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health which makes me worry about all things. No one knows when will this going to end. I can say that this pandemic changes our lives. Little did I know there is still hope in this crisis. The online class was also frustrating and exhausting, looking at your laptop from 7:30 am to 2:20 am is exhausting, I can’t even explain how tired I am even I am just sitting and listening.
A year passed and I know that step by step I am proud to say that I found my ways to deal with pressure. Looking at the bright side, this lockdown allowed me to learn new things just like baking. Also, I spend more time with my family and I realized that this pandemic made us stronger together. I realized that even we are isolated I know that I am not alone. No matter how scared I am some people remind me that everything will be okay.
Lastly, kindness is highly underrated. This pandemic taught us that we are one despite our culture, religion, customs, social class, and ethnicity. At a very young age, we learn that it’s better to give than to receive an attitude. Today, kindness is contagious, when people experience a generous kindness, they also treat other with kindness or in other word domino effect. We need to become generous people because it’s the right thing to do. Â
