...no nuclear war, no famine, just more frightened faces, people in face masks. Uncertainty, inner unrest and nervousness all around. Everyday life “outside” put on hold, when even taking out the rubbish or shopping for groceries at a set time was more or less an outing.
But what actually happened? After all, our pleas were heard. I don't know anyone who, before corona, didn't complain about a lack of time, burnout, people wished for more time for family, children, husband, for themselves, their hobbies. Our most frequent wishes came true, but they caught us unprepared, as so often happens in life.
The external influences that distracted us so much and occupied our attention, such as chasing after work, shopping, salons, sports, coffees, socialising, all of it switched off. Suddenly we had time for the most essential thing, for the greatest value in a person's life. Relationships. Real relationships. With ourselves, with our children, with our husband, partner and closest family.
But when we faced them, many did not like the view of them and had no desire to work on them. I admit that even my relationships went through an inventory, and a thorough one. The darkest place is under the lamp, as they say. Suddenly we preferred to quickly forget our pre-corona wishes and replaced them with new ones. Let everything be as before, and how we will appreciate it, because of the planet, ecology, humanity, because of finances. That was the most common argument.
I am an endless optimist, but you know what I think? We will not appreciate anything more. Because there is no helping those who won't be helped. That is how we humans are. Unteachable. Those who understand enjoy it regardless of the circumstances, and for those who don't, not even corona will help.
So that is enough of my philosophical moment on this situation, and in short, finally: thanks to corona I am tidied up like never before, physically and in my head, in relationships and values. On the other hand, I logically lost many collaborations, a few trips, a summer holiday and occasionally my nerves. :D But as always, it goes easier with humour! After all, as you saw on social networks, we got through it mainly thanks to the aforementioned humour, TikTok videos, satire, but above all love and tolerance. Because love, that we have to give away. I love you too, my dear women, very much!
