After so many days and weeks of living in crisis and caution, it’s interesting to watch our world reemerge. It reminds me of waking from a long, deep sleep, similar to how I imagine fairy tale kingdoms after a sleeping curse is broken.
People started coming out, only a little at first, like a long stretch after being confined over a long night. Now they’ve started venturing a bit further, timidly as though looking around to see whether anyone else is up.
Some of us are morning people. We’re up and at ‘em, ready to take on the world again. We’ve created lists of things we’ve been waiting (and waiting) to get done. After so many weeks of slowness, we are rejuvenated and ready to hit the ground running.
Others are more languid. They’ll need time to acknowledge daybreak and shake out the cobwebs. They may even choose to maintain their quarantine norms longer than required. After so many weeks of slowness, they need time to adjust to a quicker pace of life.
How are you emerging after Covid-19?
