Lockdown

I Got fit, got productive and made things happen. What did you do? It doesn’t matter what you did or didn’t do. The only thing you have to worry about is you survived right? You got your head down and maybe didn’t do anything atall. No one told you this would screw up everything your work your money your life. Made you fear, cry break out in spots and practically scream. All I have heard is the neighbours argue and argue. Apparently he’s not pulling his weight and she makes all the lists. Why are people pushing at people. Time to stop and reflect on your self. Life isn’t about making people happy. You have to be happy first and then things will roll. Stop trying to control what you can’t change. Kindness is the best medicine in all of this. Have you stopped to see how your mates are doing in their countries ? Maybe the list of friends you have on your Facebook just got smaller. Think, reach out, it might actually make their day. Stop collecting friends when you can start making friends with the ones you already have. The ones you don’t make time for in the time you do have. Remember we all need connection. Dr Shefail certainly makes a difference. That women is a kindness star. I’m over the zoom thing now. I’d rather listen to a mantra. One thing this lock down has taught us, is listen exactly that. Listen for love, for laughter and listen to yourself. “They say the things that finally break you, Are the words caught in your throat, And she has years of thoughts not uttered, Crammed in the pockets of her coat, A whisperer amongst a world, That’s learnt only to speak, Where silence must be broken, For the proof that it is weak, But wherein lies the weakness, Of keeping words held in your hand?, When others listen to reply, She listens just to understand, Surely it’s strength when things unspoken, Fill the room up to the brim, And she’s the only one among them, Who has taught herself to swim”
