Pensive millennial thoughts...

Text:

Setting aside for a moment the global devastation that COVID-19 continues to cause and shifting focus to the experience of lockdown itself, I think there is value that can be taken from this period for all of us.

Speaking personally, the suspension of work, social pressure and other elements of life pre-lockdown have enabled me to connect with and care for myself more authentically. This period has encouraged me to forge a stronger intrapersonal connection which I look forward to manifesting after quarantine.

My hope is that when we return, we do so mindfully, and in such a way that reflects the lessons and personal insights gained from this experience. If not, we may be doing a disservice to ourselves and undermining our time spent in lockdown.
