Lockdown is certainly a change of pace for me. I used to fly around the world twice a month! Now I’m stuck inside my 768 sq ft apartment for months on end - apart from the occasional walk or grocery store trip. I miss my friends, I miss exploring, I miss doing something different, I miss leaving my house and neighbourhood.

I’ve realized how important it is for me to have things to look forward to and to experience different things - whether it’s a new bricks-and-mortar grocery store or a new online grocery store.  (I'm easy to please!) :) 

All the uncertainty around what would happen with all my plans was also very stressful in the first few months of the pandemic. But I’ve come to terms now that I won’t be going anywhere for a long time and that’s given me a lot of peace to just focus on making things happen from the confines of my apartment. Just trying to do my bit and stay inside so healthcare workers can do their bit. Thank you healthcare workers for caring for us all.

On the positive side, I’ve learned how to make pizza during lockdown, and I’ve made many delicious pizzas, and successfully looked after a basil plant for many months. It’s been fun discovering my green thumb!
