On 25th May 2018, My 12th board's result came. I had failed in 2 subjects. I felt depressed, anxious, worried, and wanted to commit suicide. My mom was crying and I was crying too but my support system was my dad he stood strong and handled both of us by saying it's okay to fail, it's okay to face failures. This is not life's end. You will get a lot of success in life one day. But the thought of sitting for one whole year at home would cross my mind as I was supposed to give these exams directly next year. But then somehow days passed and we were back to normal life then months passed and another year came I gave exams and then passed.
The college started and then after 9 months Corona Virus came. The government announced lockdown. Initially I felt good for getting a break from the daily schedule. But after some days I started missing my college my friends and everything then I questioned myself that why do I think of this in this way?
Why sitting at home is getting so hard for us? Why can't we survive without street food for some months? Why can't we just meet our friends on video calls for some more time?
WE CAN DO IT. Personally speaking I used to sit for many months last year. Now it is a worldwide pandemic and why is it getting hard? It is a very good chance to stay at home and spend time with family. Play games like snakes and ladder which we used to play with siblings and parents in childhood. It's a good time to paint the walls of houses and pamper ourselves.
Stay strong, stay healthy.This is just a phase and will pass soon!
