Corona Virus had been one rutted way for everybody attempting to make something out of 2020 and 2021. It has been a lofty path downhill by the route there were still a ton of days that were better compared to a large portion of the rest. To break everything off with a clincher, a full-scale lockdown was executed which stopped any hustle clamor that was in my city. No transport, no personal vehicles, not so much as a child on a bike. Maybe it was the center of a Mexican Ranch around early afternoon. Conquering such weighty dosages of stress can be a modest bunch to manage. I defeated these specific situations by keeping my brains about me, remaining solid and energetic, and noticing each preventive measure there is to be seen to remain safe. I have needed to manage the pressure and the dread of being contaminated at whatever point I needed to force a task to leave the house. As the air itself was venomous. I was unable to take off from the house without covering my head, my hands, and not no notice wear a face mask, gloves and return and shower after each external visit.
Maintaining my wellbeing: At first it was difficult to adjust because it’s hard to stay busy when you cannot go to university, see friends, go to a gym or go out to eat. It felt as though the days were just going to be very quick and you had accomplished nothing. Boredom drove me to spend the majority of my days on social media which was extremely unhealthy. During a full-blown lockdown, I have noticed that the pandemic highlighted the importance of ignoring what everyone else is doing. It is good to plan but we must also accept that sometimes things change and deviate from the original route we mapped out and we have to be open to that. “All things come to pass, so just keep on keeping on”. I think a major positivity is that it allowed everyone to slow down and consider how we spend our time and what our future plans are. The pandemic also hammered home the importance of not feeling the need to follow others and just be yourself. We live in a society that places so much emphasis on comparing ourselves with friends, family, influencers, and celebrities.
Our economy and instructive framework have been uncovered of their imperfections and how they were the point at which the pandemic hit its pinnacle. In any case, since the defects are uncovered, it is smarter to digitize each prudent and instructive asset so that in the midst of an emergency, we would have a countermeasure to turn upward to instead of scavenging through the dissipated rundown of plans spread out across the table. I trust that what's to come is to carry more splendid skylines with a silver coating of expectation that this pandemic will blow over. However, I actually seek divine intervention for the better part to approach instead of the contradicting one.
