This moment in time.

Imagine being stuck at home with nothing to do for reoccurring months. Just twiddling your thumbs and being bored to death. Oh wait, that’s what we’re experiencing today. Days drain on and on. It’s like we’re robots repeating the same thing every single day. Eat, sleep, repeat.

People might say that a nightmare is a creepy clown chasing you or being cornered by zombies. But when I think of a nightmare, I picture the coronavirus as today’s spooky story. Well, maybe that is a fair bit exaggerated, but it isn’t the most pleasant thing in the world. There is 3.76 million confirmed cases and 264 000 deaths of the virus in Australia today. When will this end? Well, will this end? Fortunately, the spread has slowed down.

I have learnt many things from this experience. One of them is to not to take things for granted. I miss being able to go out and enjoy myself at any place, not just essential services!

My mind can’t make up which direction it’s going in. Is it the road to boredom at 200 km/h? Or is it on the relaxed road? Then will it take a U turn and land on school tension and stress road? But it’s okay, my brain can use a little traffic jam now and then.

I would tell my future self to enjoy exploring outside, travelling to places and spending time with friends. Because out of nowhere a virus might appear.
