Today’s blog post is just a brief, raw, almost unedited thought with a hint of inspiration and hope.
I was thinking earlier that it’s been a whole year of this sh*t. IT’S BEEN A YEAR. It feels like it was just yesterday when I first heard about COVID-19 and we all started living in this…hell (for lack of a more suitable word). I’m not being selfish; I know we were saving one another by staying home and doing so many social-distanced strange things, like the lock-down, but I can’t help feeling robbed!
So many stolen life moments, social events, job opportunities, networking possibilities…a whole year flushed down with the rest of the trash. Everything happens for a reason? I guess I’ll never really know about this one.
And it so happened that everything hit at once for a lot of us — everything hit us at once. At times, it was so incredibly hard, and still is sometimes because just like an earthquake, the pandemic is leaving behind some aftershocks. And it’s okay to admit it’s been all crap because you’re made of flesh and bones. It’s okay to admit it if you lost your mind a little. Honestly, most of us have already hit a darn pandemic wall — no need to sugarcoat anything.
Nevertheless, it’s been a heck of a learning experience living in a pandemic, for sure. More importantly, you made it this far. There’s no point in giving up on anything now. Keep breathing, keep going, and be present.
Much love.
