I included COVID 19 in each of my posts to remind me that I start journaling during this pandemic. This pandemic gave us more time, but are we using it wisely? Or are we still being ignorant and pessimistic about every single thing that is happening?
It has been a few months now since the world was introduced to COVID 19. Since then, we have been fighting day and night to be part of the solution. Simple steps such as social distancing, wearing masks, and checking temperature contribute to preventive measures, yet some people find it hard to adhere. Malaysia is fortunate to have a limited number of cases, and we have already entered the recovery phase. Businesses are running; however, unemployment is still high, given the uncertainty of this virus.
Like others, I wonder when will this end. How will this end? Can I live like this for an extended period? California, my second home, reached its peak (600,000) number of cases a few weeks back. Is this a sign from the universe for me to find a new home? Does that mean there is no way home for me, and should I consider moving back to Malaysia for good? These are the questions that I wish I have answers to when I wake up every single morning. Even though I don’t have the answers yet, but I am grateful that I am currently living in a safe environment. I know this might not be the case for others, and I can only pray and wish the best for them. Those in health and financial difficulties, we can get through this!!
If I can paint the ending of this COVID story, I hope it will go like this. On one fine beautiful day, I see drops of colorful water pouring from the sky. It is not cloudy at all, just clear blue skies with rainbows and butterflies. People are running outside, cheering, and smiling while getting wet in the colorful water. Everyone starts to hug each other and spread the vaccine (colorful water) to save the world.
