more from that month
Freedom
The sun did shine. The past three months were three months of extreme stress. The only life I had was the one behind my phone screen - the one on Read.Cash and Reddit and others. The one that spoke of a sane individual, which I was not. Relationships that had hit the rocks, getting sick now and then, and avoiding any contact with the outside world due to the pandemic. And then one day it was all over. I stood at my door, hesitant to go out. I hadn't left my neighborhood since the beginning of the lockdown, so I didn't know what to expect. But I opened the door, and then I remembered what it felt like. Sunshine on my skin, the great breeze, and the chirping of the birds. I could feel the chill of the fresh morning breeze down my windpipe and into my lungs. Petrichor. The pleasantly refreshing earthy smell that reminded me of the rain that fell the previous day. The rain that washed away my depression. Heading out, I saw the cute faces of adults and children, all smiling and outgoing, celebrating their new-found freedom. Even with facemasks, their eyes glistened of untold joy and satisfaction. Of freedom that even these words could never express. Even the sleazy police officers with bribe hngry hands, looking for a victim to extort from did nothing to dampen my mood. For those minutes, I embraced joy, freedom and happiness. I embraced life. #Happy_Vibes

Is it bad that i could relate to this the day I experienced going out of the house for the first time in months 😂
I know right?
I miss sunlight too even if i call myself a houseplant 😂
:D Gues you found out how valuable it was when it was taken away from you
Superrr. I think the only time i saw the sun during quarantine was when i climbed the roof in the afternoon
Lol. And what were you doing there?
For fresh air and sunshine 😃😃😃 plant needs those to survive and my plant self needs to survive longer
I wonder how long that feeling will last. I know as I read a face mask was asked in shops in Germany I thought "what the.." To be honest you get used to it and like my youngest sais: many use it to cover up their skin issues. Once back home automatically I grabbed the face mask as I entered a shop and turned out to be the only one. It took me a few days to get used to not wearing it you know. I still keep distance but already do that my entire life, just a bit more now. I think what people fight most is the idea freedom is taken away. With us it never was law but it all turned out to be advice... No one told us. You find out once someone starts fighting it. The feeling I kind of recognition as I visited town after several weeks and... found out nothing has really changed. 👍💕
"I already do that my entire life" ;) I can relate to that, which made it a bit easier to socially distance.
I can relate a lot since I have been at home for too long mostly doing school requirements. That's also what I felt the moment I went outside. I reminisced on what life used to be when there was no pandemic.
