GETTING THROUGH COVID-19 AND THESE TRYING TIMES.

I woke up this morning to quite a number of sad deaths, not the best way to start a new week but I drew a lot of motivation from it. Motivation to never stop and keep putting my best into each day because tomorrow is never guaranteed. It was also quite scary, having to imagine what could have led to the sudden demise of such young and really vibrant minds. This year has been quite emotionally draining and a lot of people honestly can't wait for it to end while anticipating for a better and happier year in 2021.

Amidst all the happenings one thing that also got to me was the outpour of love people have been sending to each other in these recent trying times. I think somehow the COVID-19 pandemic situation has brought people to value themselves and others around them more. This year has also been filled with quite some unfortunate surprises and the truth is, waking up everyday healthy is now a great privilege and we should make the best of it every time. It is also important to show nothing but love to everyone around us because a lot of people have had it quite rough this year and are only finding strength to keep pulling through and not get depressed, a lot of people have lost a friend or loved one , a lot have lost their jobs, some are being owed salaries and some have had their income slashed even amidst the pandemic which has also increased the cost of living in many regions. A lot of businesses have also been badly hit and even some hard working people are going through tough times too. So there are a lot of people right now who wake up with almost nothing but hope in their hearts, and everyone could really use some love right now.

People are also finding solace by engaging themselves in various activities to kill the boredom, distract themselves and also express themselves as part of the healing process. Some people take to their social media and get creative with it, a lot of people have been more active and expressive with their social media networks this year especially with TikTok, Twitter and Instagram, some people have also used the time for some self discovery and self development, some people steadily occupy themselves with work and online networking and a lot of us have also made new friends and gotten to know our neighbours better, one thing we can take away from all these activities is that a lot of people have learnt to love themselves and the people around them more, and really in these times, everyone needs all the love they can get. No room for negative energy, positive energy is what will pull us through this year happy and safe. So be sure to spread love and not be toxic, it is healthier and will give better results too. Stay safe.
