Ayo! Its’s been—how many months again since we started this lockdown? Well, it’s almost a year, I guess. Even though I am an introvert to the core and not going out is totally my everyday norm pre-covid—not being able to go out to see friends and hang-out is kinda getting into me already.
I missed eating out and going to the mall to buy nothing. Just satisfying my eyes with items I thought I would buy but end up not buying because of the price. I miss having coffees with my ladies and chatting about everything under the sun. Won’t be able to do that now because both of them are preggo and will be busy for the following months and probably years to come after they give birth lol.
Now, I’m sounding as if I’m complaining and overlooking the things I’m supposedly thankful for. I am still thankful that none in my family + my fiancé’s family got sick. All of us are still working and able to buy essential things. We have a roof under our heads and warm meals to fill our stomach. Even though we couldn’t really travel outside the province—even going to the city is close to impossible—I am still thankful that we have the privilege to go out and have fun on ice or even go for a quick grocery run.
I am envious to Australia as they are able to contain the pandemic and I think they already eradicated their covid cases? Please correct me if I’m wrong. Just jealous that they are going back to their normal lives. When will be our turn for the rest of us?
I can’t wait for the day we’re all free to travel again and do whatever we want to do. With caution this time, tho. The way we socialize will probably different once this is all over. And probably most of us will still wear mask on public and crowded places. Hang in there, my friend. This too, shall pass. I don’t know how long (hopefully soon!) but it’ll pass.
Again, stay safe. Please wear your mask and wash your hands.
Ciao!
