CORONA TIME MADNESS

  Some countries have been on lockdown for months. For an extrovert to sit in a place for months can feel like prison. Even an introvert who is used to being indoors, isn’t finding it funny anymore (speaking for myself). It is easier to decide to stay in when you know you can step out whenever you want but to be forced to, that takes your freewill away and you become a prisoner in a space you used to enjoy being in by yourself.

  Emotions are high everywhere. It’s not just from the fear of getting the virus or losing a loved one, it’s the uncertainty that hangs in the air. It is so thick it could be sliced with a knife. What will happen to our jobs and businesses? Financial markets around the world are being affected as well. Some look at the money in their accounts and wonder what value it would have at the end of the pandemic. Is this the end of the world? A lot of conspiracy theories are flying around, fueling the fear in the hearts of people. Is this the end of life as we know it? Some ponder if they’ll ever do and achieve the things they’ve always wanted to. Some don’t know if tomorrow will come.

  Everyone is looking for a way to deal with the fear, the uncertainty, death and everything else in the air. Some have turned to social media for solace; either by contributing so they can get the attention they need to hang in there or by becoming watchers, viewing and reading all with their gadgets permanently glued to their eyes.

 Some have found solace in food, it fills a hole, a need .

  Some have turned to anything that can make them feel something, connected to someone, wanted or needed, feel something even if it’s tears, rejection or hurt from someone they like.

  Some are angry and they are looking for anyone to pour it on, they have become mega trolls and angry birds, online and offline.

  Some just want peace of mind and to be left alone from any troubles.

  Some have turned to religion, in a search for something, for hope, for more.

  Some, empaths as they scroll through their contact lists, connect to family, friends and acquaintances, telling everyone that they are not alone.

  Some are feeding others, making supplies, it gives them control, a feeling of contribution.

Some are learning new things, be it good or bad.

 So many just want to feel something, get their minds off it.

 Some have refused to accept anything is wrong, living in denial.

  Some want to connect with another emotionally or on some level since corona has taken physical connection away etc.

  Some do not know where their next meal will come from.

  Some have become wasps in the lives of others, almost becoming a nuisance with the never ending messages, every blessed day.

  This period has got some doing things they never thought they would do, saying things they never thought they would say and thinking things they never thought they would think. It has changed some for the better, some for the worse.

  We all have been bitten by the corona bug and have been afflicted with its virus one way or the other.

  Me, I was a wasp in some people’s lives, stopped now before they squash me like a bug for my messages. Lol!

Where do you fall in? Hope you are staying safe and following the guidelines?

I leave you with these words from the Bible.

“DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED AND DO NOT BE AFRAID”
