Pandemic. Families separated, loved ones, relatives that's so near yet so far. Worries, fear, doubt are just some feelings we feel to name a few. I belong to the separated families. Me and my daughter went back to the Philippines for her schooling as we cannot afford to send her to an international school. We plan to go back to Malaysia on 2020 unfortunately Covid19 strikes. On December of 2020, Malaysia opened up their boarders and salute to everyone who helped us. It was breathtaking in a demanding and hard way. There are no direct flights to name a few and the chances of getting the Covid19 virus while on our way back. Finally, we succeeded and went to a relaxing and homey feeling of quarantine but the stay cost us a hole in the pocket.
This pandemic makes me realize of how important it is to be with our families. I've learned slowly how to handle my worries and just start living again amidst the pandemic and all other unfavorable events. Life is unfair, yes it is. Nobody says otherwise. But do we just allow ourselves to drown in life's hardships? Until we get sick and die? Everybody dies. It may happen right at this moment, tomorrow or next week or next month who knows? So why don't we just live our life TODAY? You see, since Covid19 strikes, all my plans are ruined and by the time I went back here it seems I'm out of it. I'm just literally "floating". I know that I need to find a job. I know I need to do something but I don't understand myself. I'm scared to try out things and I'm stuck. I've got no courage to do things. It's been 4months since I arrived and just now, I started to realize that all my feelings was brought by my worries. I'm not yet sure though but as of now I think I'm into something this time and I'll start off by living TODAY.
