Lockdown brought me back to Mother Nature

Everywhere I look I see us humans stuck to technology like cement. Some of us with not a care in the world until society shows us just how fragile it is, then we awaken.

The turmoil of a global lockdown brought many of us straight back to reality, times can get tough and we lost the skills to deal with it. So use to a lifestyle that brings convenience right to our doorsteps. When that is taking away some will panic, some will stress and then a small amount has been prepared for uncertainties.

What I have learned

I will never take for granted the people around me that have met my social needs, filling me with warm words of encouragement, loving me, and simply being there for me when I needed them. Unable to see close friends and family really took a toll on many of us. Always have time for those you care for because being with people you love is the key to happiness.

So this is what I automatically wanted to master over the last couple of unsettling months. Skills that we had during pivotal times in history but have left behind.

Growing food in my own garden

One of the first thoughts in my head when I first heard word that the shops were going to shut for a couple of months. Luckily, supermarkets did remain open but with restrictions in place. I have learned how to grow a few vegetables and fruit and I am still engaged in the learning curve.

Making home-cooked meals

So that brings me on to my next point, putting more effort into my cooking at home rather than relying on booking in a restaurant for an appetizing meal. Being able to host your own gatherings at home and preparing food for it is more rewarding and exciting when you do it yourself.

Utilizing my belongings

Some of us have intense shopping habits, sometimes buying items for a quick lift me up. I stopped buying just about everything except for food and toiletries. I made use of everything I owned, read the books that are on my shelves, got wear out of all of my clothes, and in the process felt much better about it.

Lockdown for me was nerve-wracking, as a recent graduate there is fear of the unknown, wondering if the economy will be in order to offer me a job. Worrying about my vulnerable loved ones will contract the virus and how the world will look like after it all. Apart from all that I did feel a sense of peace, tranquility. Seeing people in my community show care for people that needed the extra help was eye-opening.

When we Suffer together, we work together.
