None of us could have expected or even believed a global pandemic was about to completely stop all us in our tracks. I remember the day the world shut down. I was at work and we were asked to bring home all our computers and equipment and expect to not return to work the following Monday.
I’m not sure I believed it then. It felt so unimaginable that I didn’t even bring home all the things I truly needed at first. I left my favorite tumbler cup in the office and haven’t seen it in almost a year.
Even now I look back at quarantine like how did we do that? We really didn’t go anywhere, we didn’t leave our homes for almost a full year? It’s just wild to think we all just kind of . . . stopped.
But through this pause it really taught me a lot about myself, about life and just about the world in general. I feel like we all kind of needed this pause to reset and really teach us about what matters and what’s important.
