The Post Pandemic Era

Daily writing prompt
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Things are not same anymore. It was 2019. That was the year I switched my job. I started to understand what my role and work were about. And then boom 9 months I have work friends, I start to get adjusted to the new office. There comes a surprise, media is fully covered with some random new virus in 2020 February month. I had no idea that was the last month I would be going to the office that year. I didn’t know how many more years it would be at all.

I have been lucky compared to all those who had struggled during Covid. Many lost their loved ones. Others lost their own life in this battle. Have we adapted to the changes ?? More precise question would be , are we the same people ?? We had no choice but to adapt in the hustle world. People keep on running to the other end seeking happiness. We were locked for like what 3 to 4 years and we had forgotten how to communicate itself !! Things are turning to normal in many places, but somehow I am stuck in 2019. 2019 to 2024, it feels like it snapped off like nothing happened. I would like to assume we also lost our 5 years in a blip. It is like the blip in the Avengers movie. Ironically the years mentioned in Avengers and reality somehow collide.

One biggest change or adaption it brought in us is the important of health and survival instincts. People who saw death in front of their eyes can answer better. There comes a lot of time question about which year you would like time travel if given a chance. I always got confused about the answer. Now I feel that if time travel exists, I would never want to go back. Not if I do not know where this covid originated from !!!
