Since the negative effects of coronavirus are obvious, I am here to discuss the positive effects it has had on my life. At first, I felt very lonely. I live with essential workers, so I spend a lot of time alone at home. Even when my family was home, we kept our distance to stay safe. I became very sad very quickly. It was then that I decided to take advantage of my time alone and turn it into something positive. I decided to make the most of this time by working on myself. I wanted to start new hobbies and improve on old ones. I wanted to spend more time relaxing, because being productive doesn’t necessarily mean you have to do something physical. We are designed to work, to be active. We hardly get any breaks. Now is the time to take advantage and take time to relax and catch up on the things you always wanted to do but never had time to do. At first it was hard to not be around my loved ones. Being alone can be a scary thing. It leaves you alone with your thoughts, and thinking too much brings negative thoughts. It’s important to stay positive and not worry about things you can’t control. We can all learn something from this, and I think this pandemic is going to start a new way of life.
