Maybe

We’re all sick of it - the uncertainty, the paranoia, the fear. Everything.

The exhaustion of staring at a screen all day, the knot in your stomach when someone falls sick at home, the constant effort to maintain relationships online, the fatigue at the end of the very first day of the week, the battle you have to fight within to believe that tomorrow will be better - the mental, emotional and physical exhaustion - we’re all so done with it.

But maybe - just maybe - in some twisted, cryptic manner, all of this is just making us stronger. Maybe everything that we’re feeling is just a challenge that we need to overcome. Maybe it’s a wake-up call to value the people who stick by your side through all this. Maybe it’s a reminder of your past struggles, the ones you thought you would never overcome.

Everything is a maybe, and ‘maybe’ that’s a good thing. Because the truth is, it’s hard to be sure of anything right now, especially when every day feels the same, yet so different. Perhaps that’s the point, but there’s one thing that I’m sure if - I don’t want this entire situation to win more than it already has. And maybe that’s all we can do - survive, and wake up each day with the hope and belief that today, we will live.
