What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
COVID-19 may seem to have caused suffering to the majority of the world’s population, death, isolation, risk, and anxiety. It triggered mental health issues, majority of us were being challenged. It made everyone worry about tomorrow, I tested positive for it last year. I got isolated and not allowed to spend time with family and friends.
Lesson…
Surprisingly, my result and isolation did not scare me or worry me. If there was one thing that I had in mind last year was…BEING POSITIVE WITH COVID-19 made me realize the value of life and its entity. I was alone for a couple of days, I ate alone, slept alone, and everything I did, I did it all alone. I hear no voice from my loved ones.
Positivity…
Being alone and isolated does not necessarily need to be that bad, I get to appreciate what I might taken for granted while I was busy living a busy life. I noticed, in that space where I stayed. There was this flower pot, with dried and chapped soil on it. Then, a sprout of green little thing resurfaced. For a few days, I kept watching that sprout. I watered it every day and even dug the soil so it could continue to grow.
Realization…
I got tested positive, and it gave me a positive feeling. I was not sad, never lonely instead I was grateful. Unlike that tiny green sprout, I know I was given another chance to appreciate life even more. While I heard of my friends dazzled and overwhelmed by the negative effects of Covid-19 on their lives, I was there a year ago. I tested positive with COVID-19 and at the same time I tested positive for my love for life and it’s entity.
