    Pandemic Blues

    It has been over a year since everything paused, everyone’s lives changed without their
    permission or warning. Every day was the same old, just a repetition of yesterday. Before the
    pandemic lockdown hit, my life was not that eventful but it was still miles better than the
    melancholic, colorless and bleak days I spend indoors. You could say I was terribly missing the
    life I had before, the daily waking up early in the mornings to get ready for school, going out in
    the evenings to take a stroll or engaging in the minimum physical activities at the local park,
    and the weekly hangouts with my friends, they are all something I now hold close to my heart.

    Before the pandemic, I was an early bird, waking up before everyone else for school. Offline
    classes meant being present at school, taking the lessons along with my classmates,
    communicating with the teachers and the learning environment was very stimulating that is
    lacking in the online classes. Now I do not have to wake up as early (which has been proven to
    have negative effects on my health), I would just open the laptop with groggy eyes to take my
    online lessons with my online classmates and teachers and it does not even feel real, I could
    close my laptop and they would all go away. I would finish my lessons with bloodshot eyes,
    (that’s what over exposure to the blue light from the digital screen does to you) and be really
    happy that it’s over with.

    The pandemic also took away my luxury of going out in the evenings for a stroll, enjoying
    the nature and catching up with the neighbors. I haven’t seen the outside in days, I am very
    touch starved from the evening breeze, and god knows what my neighbors are up to these
    days. I would just smell the fumes from cooking indoors nowadays, the only smell that would
    tingle my olfactory senses. There’s a constant brain fog and the monotonous days are now
    effecting my mental health, concentrating on tasks has become a chore and nothing brings me
    joy like the outside world would.

    Before the pandemic, I would meet up with my friends on weekends and catch up, watch a
    movie or just unwind. It helped to clear my mind and make me ready for the next week. Just
    hanging out with them was very refreshing. I haven’t seen my friends in months, hence nothing
    to look forward to in the weekends. My communication and interacting abilities have
    deteriorated in the meantime; I hope I still have some of the social skills left in me.
    The pandemic has been brutal on everyone, but let’s not be too caught up in it, let’s try to
    keep our spirits up. Let us learn to appreciate the little things in life and live to the fullest.
    Everything will soon get back to normal, let us hold on to that sliver of hope and move forward
    to the better tomorrow. If things get too depressing, talk to your family members and try to not
    spiral down your thoughts. Even though things are very different now, humans have this
    amazing ability to get used to different situations.
