Let’s focus on the Positivity

This pandemic has been a source of various difficulties. Abiding by the rules set up by our government for our own safety has been a challenge in itself but it has also brought on various positive aspects that we just skim over.

I had never been able to spend much time with my parents because of their busy schedule but nowadays  we’re spending a lot of time together and enjoying every moment we spend together doing things we love.

I’ve spent lazy days enjoying watching series, movies and reading various novels and just enjoying it thoroughly. This free time has helped me set out on the journey of finding new things that I didn’t know I enjoyed. I found out that I enjoyed gardening and have planted many plants that have blossomed into beautiful flowers. As I couldn’t go out to enjoy my favourite dishes, I planned to make them in my own house. With a little help from youtube and my mom, I was able to successfully recreate the dishes. It tasted as good as it looked in the photos. These successful attempts have brought me great joy in these monotonous and unpredictable days. The growing number of cases have been really stressful but I have decided to follow the guidelines set by the government and WHO and spend my days trying new things, doing things I love and overall making the best of a bad situation.
