Uncertainty, in isolation.
Trapped, restless, and weary.
Days blur into weeks and months, where memories of yesterday haunt our worries of today and of tomorrow. Be it by choice, or by obligation, our solitude has become a prison of frustration, and the desire to return to a sense of normalcy, increasingly grows with each day that passes.
Alone and longing, we fall prey into our fears and doubts. A constant state of fluctuating anxiety, waiting for us to sink in stagnation.
However, it is also in this stillness where we must learn to reconnect with one’s self. Backed into a corner by what is beyond us, acceptance of this reality in itself presents a glimmer of hope. With the understanding that there are things we cannot change on our own, we must make the most out of the present, changing what we can.
And so as the days of solitude run its course, we carry on as we tell ourselves that someday this all will end, and that someday, we’ll all be together again.
