It’s more than understandable if you’re hitting a bump right now, this has been going on a while but it’s not getting any easier. In fact it might feel like it’s getting harder. I get it. Even without all the anxiety surrounding covid, just having your life change so much can be overwhelming even as time continues to pass- it certainly was for me when I first got sick and I still have days when it all feels to much. But you’re going to be ok. 

Take a deep breath, drink some water, know you’re not alone, and keep taking care of yourself. You’ve got this!

Isn’t is crazy to think of how life was before this pandemic?

Crowded places, shops, buses, restaurants and arenas.

Dancing in night clubs, at concerts and singing so loud with strangers.

Sharing food with your friends or even a smoke if thats what you want.

Meeting a person on a night out, your eyes meeting for the first time and having a sneaky kiss in the middle of a packed dance floor

Going to the beach, the cinema, shopping or just a road trip.

Now we can’t even meet our friends, not even our family and loved ones,

Hugs are frowned upon and don’t even think about a handshake,

those were the days when holding hands was intimate not frowned upon.

Seeing people smile as they walk by, smiling down at their phone, chatting with friends or flirting with their partner,

now it’s just face coverings and latex gloves. 

“Wash your hands and keep your distance” 

“We’re all in this together, we have to keep going to flatten the curve”

Yet  right now we all feel alone,

the only contact we have is through technology.

When will it end? 

When can we go back to normal?
