The Lockdown is the Perfect Chance to Heal Yourself
I have a confession to make — I haven’t done much since COVID-19 became serious.
For me, the past year has been a period of tremendous growth.
After starting up an event business using just my crappy iPhone, I took on my next challenge and used my entrepreneurship portfolio in lieu of an internship to secure a job as a digital marketing manager for an up-and-coming startup in the fitness sector.
I was having fun amidst the hustle.
I enjoy being productive, to feel needed, to push the envelope, breathing life into the wisp of an idea and bringing people together for a common cause. It makes me feel alive.
I’m the type of guy that will keep going until something forces me to stop. And something did.
The COVID-19 pandemic took everyone unawares, and Singapore, where I stay, is currently on a month-long lockdown.
I absolutely detested it at first — but now I see the silver lining in staying at home.
