How Are We?

 How are you? 

You'll probably be sitting right now with your phone or laptop, comfortably browsing and reading, with a cup of coffee at your table. I picture you awesomely, glad you look and feel okay.

How are you these past few days?

This pandemic may have made you anxious. I know, pretty hard, we still cannot go back to our old normal lives. We wish we could, but it's still a little impossible.

If you live in my country, the Philippines, I know you can relate. We have the highest cases in South East Asia, 27th place globally.

I know I shouldn't be jealous of other countries slowly recovering because they followed science, but I am jealous... particularly, New Zealand. If I have the chance to go there, I would, but it's lame, I know, leaving my country just for comfort? That's selfish, also, impossible.

Before pandemic, I believe we are one of the most beautiful, a lot of things to boast about, especially tourism. We still are, but right now, can't blame anyone for all of this, it happened for a reason. We may be confused as to why it happened, but things like this happened before, hundred of years ago, and I heard it was worse coz there were no advanced technologies to detect these viruses, plus, war was prevalent.

Yes, I am thankful I can still say things like these all over the internet, but also, I feel so sad for people who are enduring due to COVID19. No one deserves this, everyone deserves to be at home with families, or bond with friends enjoying milk tea or samgyupsal outside, go to the beach, hike, enjoy a river cruise, and have a picnic at the park. Everyone deserves a hug from their loved ones and feel the care, not fear. This is totally unfair, no one deserves to be in the hospital bed breathing hard and be cremated the next day coz their immune system can't fight anymore. 

I know, it's a shame it happened, we have limited things to do. I feel glad for people who recovered and back to normal again. I wish this would stop, if vaccines can help, so be it, so be it...

I don't know why the heck I am trying to ask this, it probably won't be the same for everyone, I maybe the only one feeling so sick, and others have moved on, living an amazing life. I am still in the zone, I am still anxious. I am healthy, I guess, but maybe, I shouldn't worry that much.

This I believe, the world will move on and it will be healed.

Soon.
