As the pandemic is gradually nearing the phase of endemic, at least in the near future from now, what are the lessons or realizations you've had in this specific period of our lives?
I lost my cousin in the pandemic. We had planned to meet for a long time but could not catch up due to our busy schedules. Then one day, I came to know she was no more.
The pandemic has taught me to value relationships and make time for the people I love.
I wrote an HP article on this topic, Gianella, based on a sermon by my bishop. She asked us to open our eyes to see what the pandemic taught us and to see that we may have missed before. For me, practicing self-care and savoring the moment became more sacred during the pandemic.
The pandemic taught me several things:
1) My church guided me with protocols that allowed me to continue my spiritual freedom.
2) Media, pharma and politicians (Merchants of Chao) benefited from the pandemic.
3) People died, and some I knew. I feel for their family and friends.
4) Fingerpointing or arguing is not a practical solution.
5) My alternative doctor never lost a patient to COVID.
6) I continue to practice protocols against the spread of germs.
7) I appreciate life so much more.
