March 2020- Final submissions
April 2020- last semester exams.
May2020 - trip with friends
This was my plan for these months and I believe each one of us might have something planned out for these months. And if not something new maybe just following the routine and continuing what we used to do.
But it is not. None of would have planned for 50+ days locked in our homes. But still, here we are with our families locked in our own homes.
Of all the times that we wished a day off from our daily routines, here it is. Though not in the way we had thought, we have essential items with us, we are in our homes and have our family by our side. This is more than enough to be thankful for.
There is something more to this situation, there are daily wage earners who have no money or resources left. There are small business owners who are on the verge of spending their last savings. There are migrating workers who have to travel their way back home. Some people are losing their jobs and students still confused about their exams.
All we can do is stay at home and pray for the best to come for them and help in the best possible way bound by the rules.
This is the time of self-evaluation or sitting idle. Going back to your childhood hobby or learning something new. Video calling your college friends and laughing with your long lost school friends. Being productive or binge-watching movies. Appreciating a mother's effort to cook food and realizing the importance of our father's jobs.
Now is the time to self pamper, staying strong, supporting others, and praying.
