January, February, quarantine.This has been how the calendar looks for many people,the year 2020 will be remembered by many as the year that time stood still ,the year covid happened.
Many have lost something,a job (personally I lost a job opportunity but we move), businesses collapsed, others were scarred by getting the covid -19 and recovering with adverse health effects.
But apart from the businesses which gai ed billions citing the cases of movie streaming sites, pharmaceutical companies , virtual chatrooms sites and online stores ;the pandemic gave us time ,time to reevaluate ourselves, our careers,and time to think about life itself. It showed us that the life that we take for granted may end in an instant. The jobs that we work so hard on and spend most of our time in May not be there tomorrow. for some this era of curfews and lockdowns showed us we weren’t really alcoholics but just individuals with and access to alcohol.
The “normal” outlook of jobs schools also changed people don’t nessesarily need to go to a physical location to do an assignment or learn they can just do it at the comfort of their homes, others who lost a job ventured in other activities which some have proved to be more profitable than their usual 8-5 jobs.
This pandemic has shown me that the human race us resilient, a pandemic hit us but we managed to manouvre and innovate ourselves to a now bright future. This was acheived through coming together (some by being apart),we stayed strong and worked on bettering ourselves despite all that was around us.
How did you manouvre this uncertainty?
