I’m still in survival mode, so it’s too soon for me to consider what I have learned in the past year during the pandemic.
But I know what I don’t know.
I don’t know why I couldn’t use the time given to me in the past year to better myself.
I didn’t lose my job. I didn’t want for anything. My family was safe. All I had to do was stay home.
It’s funny, under normal circumstances I am the first person out the door of a crowded room. I cherish my quiet alone time. When it’s just a weekend I can’t risk sparing any of it, but give me a whole year and I’m lost in oblivion.
It’s like asking for a glass of water and being dropped in the middle of a lake.
Luckily, I can swim. But the question is, how far?
