25 Odd Things I’ve Learned During the Pandemic
On life, people and myself
Man the last 18 months have been quite the ride, amirite? We started 2020 cheering ourselves on and thinking without a shadow of a doubt “this is gonna be my best year ever”.
Oy.
And then in a blink of an eye~poof! All our hopes and dreams vanished into uncertain air with our enthusiastic smiles hidden behind masks.
2021 rolled around and everyone was cheering the departure of 2020 and welcoming in this new year with more hope and enthusiasm. But nothing changed. In fact, it got worse.
And here we are now at the tailend of 2021 with this pandemic still hot on our tails.
Ah, such is life. Welcome to your new normal.
Tons of time to think
Welp, there certainly was plenty of time for self-reflection. Maybe a tad more than we wanted or needed. This pandemic, (wait, can we just call it a thing please) not only rocked us hard but made us question life and our mortality.
Will I get it? Can I beat it? When will it end? Is this the new norm? Will I die from it? Will the whole world die from it? Will it get worse?
