I thought we progressed past this stage. Guess not…
We were forced to go under yet another Covid lockdown, and I can’t believe it’s already been 9 weeks already. I haven’t seen my friends or my extended family in such a long time, and I honestly just miss what life used to be like.
There are many downsides of Covid. Not being able to see your friends or family. Being restricted in what you can do. Not getting to go ice skating.
However, there have been some upsides to lockdown too. During this time, I’ve become more comfortable with my inner self and who I really am. I can differentiate my real friends from acquaintances, because my real friends are the ones I talk to everyday and actually make an effort to contact me. I’ve also had more time to read and listen to music, and during this time, I’ve been able to focus on and prioritise myself.
Although I enjoyed being with my class last year, I think my covid lockdown experience has been much better this year. I’ve learned how to take care of myself and balance both school and self care, and during this lockdown period, I’ve finally started to apply my new skills.
