Being a social animal is not bad.
It’s been a month I am not stepping out of my door. Sometimes it’s okay while busy in households and hobbies, but sometimes my mind bangs me.
Earlier how we used to go out every weekend, it was recreation. Driving without destination with hot filter coffee and jumped up into roadside snacks, waooo it was a great time.
Now, I forgot what I want or what I don’t. Even so, I don’t need to tell myself that I am locked; maybe I am intended, or I am afraid to go out, but my mind is knocking me, let’s go out, I need fresh air.
The Last night, when I was trying to recall the outside area of my apartment. Suddenly, I felt the picture was a blur in my mind. What is happening with me, I thought? For a sec, I was break off. I wasn’t tired, but I was void.
In the last couple of months, I have not touched my accessories. Every day, I wear my smartwatch with the thought that I will soon go for a walk. The day will come; I will put on lipstick, not a mask. I am bored with loungewear now I want to dress up; I am not insensible here; I am a social animal.
I am following all the protocol, which might be I never minded, but I want to run away for the sake. I am looking for a place where no one goes and enjoys the breeze.
I am eagerly waiting for the vaccine; my dawn starts with my WhatsApp text to check that there is any news for a vaccine. I am at home, but I am not in resting mode.
Now it seems the traffic was good on-road, the junk was happiness, and the pollution was not so harmful because I am a social animal, it’s better to stay in the jungle, not in a cage.
I know I am safe at home, yet I am a social animal. It’s a normal human tendency to look always what you have not; Please don’t judge me. “I want to go out.” (I am not complaining here).
It’s part of my responsibility towards a nation to stay safe at home. It’s about a year; I stopped celebrating, not hanging out with friends. It seems like life is dragged in online; video chats, online shops, e-consulting, etc., etc... I don’t want anymore.
I like to be a social animal. I am happy with that.
Before the pandemic, I was experiencing the world from my ray ban. Now the window of my house is my favorite corner of the house. From here, perhaps I can’t see good enough, but I can imagine the world outside.
Life doesn’t remain the same. I know the fact that’s why I am trying to cherish my homestay.
One day for sure, when this pandemic will wipe out, and life will be on the road; then again, maybe we would be missing this caged life and think of the family time, making cakes and play around with the kids.
Life is joyful in different manners. We should learn to be happy, not to please others.
This pandemic taught us many things. I hope acknowledging the fact will remain for life long, or it just tends for the time being.
For the present, hope is strength for me that one day everything will be back to place till the time staying safe at home.
