Although many of us are facing the consequences of what this pandemic has created, I am feeling rather optimistic about the whole thing. I’ve been laid off from my job and for the first time in a while, I am motivated to work towards my passions. Usually, after working all day I would dwell on work and just think about how I have to work the next day. All day long I am consuming information with little to no room for creativity in other aspects of my life. Now that all I have is time, and an excuse to stay home, I feel more positive than ever to take up hobbies that can hopefully lead to new opportunities.

I think that despite the fear that is currently instilled in everyone, we have the opportunity to take a step back and realize everything we have been longing to do. I have been connecting with friends and family much more than normal, and all I have room for is to exercise my creativity! I have learned several new recipes, I’ve been forced into making things homemade and it has actually been quite fun. I am now working on my blog which has been neglected for almost a year, and today I started my first podcast!! Yay!!

Everyone should take advantage of this time we have to ourselves, with no obligations or responsibility (other than staying home) and find what truly brings joy. Please stay safe, we are all in this together!
