Has Covid changed the way you viewed world and life?

I feel I used to take too many things for granted.Things are so unpredictable

What about you all?

yes and made me realize how political and idiotic everything is for people (USA especially) it's so annoying and as a healthcare worker is so frustrating to see people get political over COVID. 🤬

I don’t know ..

I know I used to take things for granted which I don’t anymore …but I’m not sure if me not taking those things for granted will benefit in anyway

Whatever has to happen will continue to happen

If anything I feel totally useless and helpless in the whole scheme of things …

The realisation that u can do everything right and still be screwed is a tough pill to swallow

Health conscious ppl dying of heart disease and cancer

Most loving , giving people stuck in toxic relationships where they receive nothing in return

Most hardworking ppl not being paid what they deserve

Sucks…

Yes... Covid made me realized that i was playing a role that society expected me to be... I was none of those things and accepting that has liberated me...we don't know when the call of death comes so rather then running after materialistic things solely u need to feed the soul as well..

One important step I did was I stopped posting on social media about my personal life.. And that has contributed immensely for my mental health and not become part of that cycle.. I remember back i used to scroll on Insta and see these picture perfect life and becoming depress and now when I finally have that peace I don't want to share it with the world and contribute to even one person in my friend list feeling like shit coz of my "oh she is so happy " ...if the moment you are having is really beautiful the world doesn't need to know..

I have started taking care of my health better after hearing so much about how important immunity is. Also, finances because of the way lockdowns were announced spontaneously. Had always heard about the importance of health & wealth , now seen it too.

So beautifully put.

Life sucked then , sucks now and will be forever. The only unchangeable.

If you can't beat them, join them. I don't want to fight with life anymore. I am just going along with it. COVID makes it clear to me.

Having contracted covid myself and watching my household members suffer from the virus was horrible. But seeing that it took the life of my aunt and her son less than 2 hours apart was pure agony. The hospital live streamed their video and allowed family members to say goodbye while the doctors took them off life-support. Watching two of your loved ones die, when only a few weeks ago they were alive, is traumatic. You feel so helpless. I couldn’t even attend their burial because I was stuck at home in isolation.

You take life for granted. I know I did. It gnaws my insides knowing that I never told my aunt and cousin how much I loved them. I’ll carry this guilt to my grave, but I’ve promised myself that I’ll never hold back in showing my friends and family how much I appreciate and care about them. Covid has taught me a major life lesson.

Yes , it did. I lost my uncle to Covid this year in May and his death was a shocker to all of us coz he was such a fit , health conscious man. He passed away after being admitted for only 2 days at the most. Soon after I saw a colleague of my mom pass away due to covid when she was only 50.. her death was also shocking . I realised how unpredictable life is..

But more than covid itself, the lockdown and this "covid era" changed me immensely. The things I learnt about life and people around me.. have been very important lessons. Earlier I was naive and clueless about a lot of things.. but I will emerge out of this as a much more mature, sensible and strong person, I hope. All in all, this last year and a half taught me a LOT, and even though I had some painful experiences, I am thankful for what I gained through this process.
