The Town Feels Like What It Felt Before.
Have you been to the town earlier? I mean, not the town that is near to my home but the respective town that is near to you? I just recognize how the people are getting back those experiences they used to experience before the pandemic came wherein people are going outside without thinking about wearing face masks and a pandemic to be afraid of. Thus, the observational situation is silently returning from its old form that people—if you could observe in malls or even supermarkets—could roam freely even though with their children, if they want to. This observation may not be like what you have observed in your town but I could say that this simply illustrates the current situation in our environment that the used-to-feel environment we have before is bringing into reality again.
How we were before? Just a small talk about what I am before; I am a roamer after my school time. I used to walk with my friends because having someone to walk with is such a fun thing to do after a whole day of studying. It is better to have someone to talk with about the struggle you have been through in a day. I am grateful to have friends that are also commuting homeward because if their houses are just walk-ins, I will just probably be the one who will commute to get home. Aside from having someone to walk with after classes, the number of people itself is the one I am pointing out in this article. In the early season of the pandemic, people were afraid to go outside their houses, and going outside give us much pressure and thought that we might get the virus if we try to. On the other hand, though some cases are sprouting again in our town, we can’t deny that the place is finally returning to its form. Though it is still an assumption because in the first place we don’t know what happens and what would be the best cure for it but at least we tried to get rid of it and still, survive.
Until now, I am still in the phase of thinking that this thing happening in our land is might not a real thing actually, but I believe at the same time in the idea that all of these are happening for a reason that we are all come to challenge in many aspects. Moreover, I am somehow grateful for where I am right now. The things that happened in the recent moments strengthened me to be who I am today; fighting and trying my best to give what is the real “best.”
Alongside what I observed in the town earlier is the person that I always thought about every time I go to town. I don’t know what are the things she is up to now, but I am sure of one thing until now—she still remembers me. Two years wasn’t that long. It has been almost three years since we had our last lunch together. I have been silent about this for months now. We have been talked last year and that was the moment that we tried again, and I think that was the last moment for now. I have felt less doubled than I gave so I am recovering what I have missed for myself. The words that I receive and the feelings I got were already in another story but I have to mention it for the sake of the mark she forgot to say sorry. Thus, I hope that the day we are thriving with is the same day that we were trying to hold another day for us; wherein we will wait for each other’s time to take our lunch and talk about the things we used to be excited about. I want to still go further about this, but this is all for now. I will go for another story wherein I confess the further story and cast my emotions. But for now, may we hold the idea of the better days we dreamt to have. Hoping for the betterment of the town that I used to roam before.

Going out of town is something that is very enjoyable, both for work and for vacation. However, due to a natural phenomenon in the form of the corona virus, it often makes other people restless. because they are afraid that if they visit outside the city they can get infected. indeed the virus is not visible, but not a few of them are infected with the virus. and in the end we get to the point where the virus disappears by itself. I don't know if that's a bad assumption or a good one, but in reality the virus does exist.
