When people started talking about the whole Covid Situation I used to think, ‘Oh it won’t spread to Qatar, Even if it does, they’ll control it before it gets worse'. But Oh boy was I wrong. It feels like a dream, someone please pinch me. Even after all this time, I still can't bring myself to accept that we are actually living in the middle of a global pandemic.
At the start I was mildly excited. I was able to connect with my family, I could watch movies, more movies and even more movies. It was pretty nice, I was able to catch-up with all the latest releases and stay up-to-date with my favourite stars of the entertainment world.
But it couldn't keep me company all the time.
I am a social person, I like going out, being with my friends or even playing a game of crazy eights. But the whole lockdown situation stopped me from doing any of them. Everyday was a boring routine, I always felt like I was carrying a huge weight on my shoulder.
I just missed my friends and all the 'normal' things we used to do. Talking to my friends online never felt the same. I felt like I was riding a spiral with illusions, sometimes I smile going through my social media feed, and just moments later I find myself lying on bed, curled up thinking, 'Will I ever be able to go back to that life?'
But, I had hope. I knew that if I stayed afloat on this turbulent tides, I will make it to the shore.
I had to be positive, I had to be strong, because I wasn't the only one going through it. So I was patient, and I waited. The best thing that happened to me was when school re-opened. And some restrictions being eased.
I couldn't wait to meet my lovely friends who I hadn't seen in like Forever. But even still, school wasn't the same. The empty basketball court and colourful ninjas in the school uniforms kept reminding me that, this was only temporary relief.
I had to accept it. That, this may become the new normal. But let's not give up just yet. Let's keep our heads high and make use of all the facilities that we have.
I mean, just imagine if this happened a few years ago where the internet was not what it is now. We wouldn't have the amazing resources that we have now. So, let's just be grateful for the things we have and make the most of it. : )
Thanks for Reading.

(P. S.)
A little advice.
Try to find something that you enjoy doing. Or something that can keep you company. It doesn’t matter if its binge watching a TV-Series, exercising, drawing or even reading.When you find this blissful abode, it will help you feel better even if it’s just a little bit.
I hope this teeny tiny advice helps because it worked (kind of) for me.
Be strong. Be safe. Everything will work out. I know, I know, easier said than done right? but trust me, you are Not Alone. It's not just you. We all know how testing these times have been.
Good luck! I know you will come out Victorious <3
