Share how your life was before the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was praying five times a day and spent a lot of time in the mosque. Even though I was a bit sick, I was comparatively in way better health. I had really good focus and as a fresh bachelor's graduate of 2020, I was highly active in self improvement and job search. I wanted to marry a classmate, and that helped my motivation as well. I stayed away from a lot of sins, and I used to listen to Qur'an many times a day and I was memorising it faster.

Then the lockdown started. It's like I was making a lot of progress, but I was just stopped. Whatever it is, I have my full trust in my creator, like I had in the most parts of my life.

In death, I am supposed to figure it all out. Until then, I bear patience and I work hard. There is no room for excuses. It is what it is.

I feel like it's not very relevant because it caught me on a breaking point in my life anyway. I finished school in 2018 and had my first job in 2019 which I quit at the end of the year. The pandemic just gave me an excuse to not move further in life because I refused to dance how the authorities whistled and just socially isolated as much as possible and spent really a huge amount of time with my family and in woods. Also a lot of institutions were in chaos and barely functional, which at times I used to my advantage too.
One positive thing it had on me was that I finally got my driver's licence because it made me realize how much freedom owning a car gives you in times like that as opposed to be subjected to the rules of the public transportation.
The isolation also made me realize how important and needed social contact with random strangers (not just the same people all the time) is to me. It got to the point that a simple friendly interaction made me literally feel better physically.

If I should add anything, the pandemic is a long-forgotten thing at this point. Sometimes I literally forget about it all and only remember when I see a person with a mask. War is MUCH MUCH bigger issue now and it has changed everything thousand times more.

Before the pandemic I was energetic, motivated and having many connections.
I changed a lot, my world's been shaken.
I'd love to find some of that stability.
I'm fighting with my ego too hard nowadays, I want this to end.

@Riemann There's this monster in greek mythology with many heads and it feels I'm dealing with this one, when you cut one head, two grow at the place where there was one before.

Thank you. It does help me.

So far I'm not entering any

@elafina Entering any?

Before the pandemic I was under the illusion the majority of people cared about each other, and it was good to see that confirmed in the first two months or so. Then the ugly truth came out.

@NerdyPotato Everybody is busy.

@Beatbox34 Patience man. Try doing a small good thing, and see how thing's feel. Life is uncertain, and we might die at any moment.
A man is here for another man. No worries. Send a message.
Keep working hard so that there is no place for regrets.

@Beatbox34 Do not let it get to your head. Things can be whatever things can be, but you need to be yourselves.
Past is unreachable, present is moving fast and the only way forward is th future.
