The summer heat here in Manila makes me want to be here. #elnido
Last get-away before lockdown started last 2020.
Blue waters. Salty air. Scorching sun. Messy hair. Tan lines.
Reminiscin‘ and praying to get to travel again soon.
What’s your summer vibe? Tempt me.😊
Just like everyone else, these two years will go down in history as the years that changed it all. Corona virus (Covid-19) happened/is still happening. Masks, face shield, alcohol, sanitizer, vaccines, quarantine in all its forms (well, here in the Philippines atleast where we have classifications like enhanced community quarantine (ecq), general community quarantine (gcq), modified gcq, bubble +), work from home and numerous daily death eased their way in our lives. Where mental health and languishing* are being discussed more openly now.
Despite all the massive changes, I hope we find a silver lining to being cooped up most of the time. I hoped this allowed us to spend more time with family, to up our skills, to value our self more, to be grateful of what’s present, and to look out for others especially those that needed help. To be kind/er.
I hope we don’t label these years entirely as forlorn, unfortunate, unhappy. Tagged it as a death eater, that which it sucks happy memories. Because at the end of it all ( and I am crossing my fingers here), we will come up stronger in every possible way.
And in five years, I plan to reminisce 2020-2021 as the years that sucked but also paved a way to know who I am and what I am capable of.
How will you see it in five years time?
