If only I could Step Out…
A sense of lull, a turbid mind, a feeling bleeding its way to feed the hazy thoughts. It is a strange sense of disconnect with people around me, beyond my immediate family members.
A cold shrug I fail to comprehend in response to a text/a call to have a conversation. Have we all reached a saturation of digital talks and connects, locked away in our homes for about 6 months now?
I fail to muster if this is how we all feel? Or is everyone disappointed & defeated by the pandemic hit the world. Has the will power, resilience, hopes, dreams, aspirations crushed so strong now, there is no zeal left to stay afloat?
If only I could decode this feeling to its entirety, within myself and extend my learning to others.
This whole digital connect is exhausting me now!
I want to know the step in the right direction. Whether it is to take a vacation, which is long overdue. Visit parents, or go to beaches I love. Take a flight or trek mountains and travel without fear. I want to sit across a cafe table & talk to people. When I step out, see people as fellow humans, not as a host to the deadly virus. Free of the restrictions and endless fear we carry in our hearts. The fear we carry within ourselves until the vaccines deploy in the whole wide world.
