COVID-19 has impacted almost everyone in almost everything from travelling, shopping, going to stores, going to school, eating out and meeting people. As Generation Z people would say, “everything is cancelled!” We are living with the idea that the world will never be the same when life is already complicated. We may never have the chance to go back on what we idealized as something we find “normal,” but we have a chance to do something extraordinary. The pandemic could give us the opportunity to do something we always wanted to do but never bothered to do so. It could be something we never thought we would appreciate in life. My sister Aoife Dan loves to go to school to learn and meet her friends and play outside. Since lockdown is an implemented norm, she thought she could never do things that make her happy anymore, but that is certainly not true!
We don’t get to go out all the time. But if you think visiting the park for a stroll and enjoying quality time is reasonable during the pandemic, then I think it’s safe to say it’s exceptionally reasonably “season-able!” Aoife thinks so too. She loves seeing the different shades of warm colored maple leaves on the ground. Looking at the skies in your window seems ordinary, but not until you are tranquil, you find something extraordinary. Every night Aoife loves to visit my room to look at my window because she finds the night skies beautiful!
