What the Virus is Creating for you and me
What can I do with all this time
So the fake life has been put on a hold…
Panic, fear and what am I going to do kicks in. How am I going to earn my living? How am going without this or that restaurant? How am I going to do my shopping?
Life as we knew it over.
Everything we could freely do without even thinking like going to a shop, restaurant, a run outside, meeting people up for a coffee is now not available. What do we do now?
Are we stuck?
When this virus first happened a feeling that comes all over must be denial. No, this cannot be true. This little sh*t cannot ruin my life! People tend to continue doing what they know best — be their old self and do the things one usually does. Go to a shop only to be told it’s closed. Go food shopping and find empty shelves (I haven’t really encountered that feeling yet myself).
Next, comes a realisation that this little thing called virus might affect me. I go and buy lots of stuff for my cupboards. A person who wouldn’t hoard things now becomes a hoarder. A cupboard becomes full of things one doesn’t even eat. It’s just ‘just in case’ mentality kicks in. Things I don’t need become vital ingredients in life.
