Keeping Hopes Up During COVID

Better Days
“In rebuilding a broken world, we will have the chance to choose a less hurried life.” – Dr. Alan Lightman I baked cookies! That’s right, for the first time in over seven years, I baked homemade chocolate chip cookies. I was a little nervous because baking has never been my strength in the kitchen (probably because I am not good at following directions). But, guess what?! They turned out great – so great, in fact, that I am afraid to try again in case this time was a fluke or beginner’s luck. Although, my opinion of their quality might be influenced by my recent abandonment of a sugar-free, gluten-free lifestyle.

The Road to Dream
The Road to Dream Let’s be honest here. Covid-19 has changed the world as we know it. Probably more than anyone ever could’ve anticipated. Everyone is going through some of the hardest times in their lives. Harder than anything they have ever had to endure. My story plays a part in the madness.

Quintessentially Human
I’ve often wondered why it is in the evolution of mankind that, even when we arrive at a great solution to a problem or need, that we don’t just say that’s it, and settle for that? No, we fiddle, we change, we innovate. Nothing is ever static, like evolution itself, except that we innovate just a little quicker.

What Is Making Me Happy Right Now
Believe it or not, it's okay to be happy right now! Think about all the good that is happening in the world. The videos of recovered patients being applauded as they are discharged from the hospital. Making homemade masks. Car parades. People fostering homeless pets. Everyone is coming together to help one another, and it's amazing. I don't think I've ever seen so much unity among us before. We really are, as they say, "all in this together."

The Best Day is Now . Top Story - May 2020.
When I think about better days I don’t think about going back to my past. A lot of people are excited about the idea of getting back to work, getting back to the mall, restaurants, festivals...getting back to the way things have always been.

The Month I Analyzed Everything.
Dear reader, I write to you today with another letter of progress in my self-improvement journey. Last month was when I decided to embark on this adventure, and it was my first time recording/reporting my progress in such a formal (and public!) manner. I am relieved to see I've managed to stick to it, as I hope are you. When it comes to April, it was an easier month than last, but I will admit it came with its own new set of difficulties. This month I was faced with the challenge of acceptance, be it with myself or the world around me - and, surprise, surprise, it was all triggered by my (now) ex.

Lockdown Disasters. Part One.
What an absolute bitch this virus is turning out to be. Way back at the beginning of February, one of my university tutors asked what I thought about Coronavirus, at the time it was still just in Wuhan, China, so like a fucking idiot I replied “I’m not worried, the flu kills more people and I’m young and healthy”. What an ignorant twat I was three months ago. As I write, the official UK death toll is fast approaching 30,000, lockdown has been in place for over six weeks and although there is a review due on Thursday (07/04/2020), it is likely to stretch on for much longer. Some people seem to think it will only be a few weeks but honestly, I think it will be much longer.

Tomorrow remains unknown
Tomorrow Remains A myth. It started many years ago in a small village in Machakos.It is believed that a child once born, happiness is seen upon his/her parents. Happiness or sadness remains a myth to every child born by a woman. Life doesn't guarantee for once happiness or sadness but it gives us hope that tomorrow it shall be better than today. Once upon a time, my parents were happy and we as children we were happy hoping that everyday things will be full of happiness. Then one day morning it was never like any other day we used to see, my mother was in full of tears and bitterness. Then mother`s love for her children she couldn`t tell us what had happened to her.
