My life during quarantine and post-quarantine gloomy experience.

Hello steemit people! It's been a long time since I first posted my introduction to this platform of crypto enthusiast and business-minded people. My life has been so hard since the pandemic hits the globe. I was quarantined for several weeks before I departed to my city where I'm currently residing. Being in isolation is not easy, to be frank. You're only allowed to access limited provisions in the city. You're not allowed to go out and stay for several hours to enjoy a relaxing fresh air.

So I've been stuck with this small apartment with my equipment for work and a small camera to capture things outside. Practically, I'm okay being in this kind of situation given with the nature of my work that demands time meeting up with clients. Now, it's all on the internet to finish things up for work or should I say the new normal of working at home.

Three months have passed and still counting indefinitely. I don't know where this would end. Though compensation is still on a regular stream, I feel like there should be more than this. More than any money in the world is true happiness. The happiness you can feel and find with your friends and family.

Every day matters more than any yesterday has passed. But every day I feel unmotivated and tired. I barely eaten something last week and barely keeping up my sales and interactions with my client. What added burden to this situation is my crypto portfolio which is not performing well from the past weeks. I just hated my situation at that moment.

I finally got a chance of strolling inside malls and streets. This time, I grab the opportunity to unwind and take some fresh environment vibe but only to be disappointed by the effect of the quarantine.

My first impression was not met. I thought of seeing people doing the same thing as me, enjoying the limited freedom while indulging themselves in meeting their friends and loved ones. But instead, I saw a very gloomy ambiance inside the malls or even on streets where people are slowly passing by going to their respective work and concerns.

I went for a few more steps inside the mall and have seen this giant lantern for Christmas. My first question was "will there be a happy Christmas for this year?". I really doubt about that. If there would be any major concern coming from the people this year, that would not be Christmas but getting to Christmas without any burden to carry on for the next year.

And that thought hit me so hard.

It hit me so hard that I quickly went outside the mall and reminisced things for a while. I took time to ponder those things and blessings I have received the entire pandemic up til this time. And I am so blessed, to be honest.
