PANDEMIC JOURNEY

Sam finds himself dealing with an overwhelming sense of stress and uncertainty due to the isolation brought on by the pandemic. His familiar world of school, friends, and an active social life was replaced by the isolation of his home. The emotional turmoil he is experiencing is a natural response to such drastic changes in his lifestyle.

There are times when he misses the smell of the air in the forest. He misses camping and interacting with other people. Not being able to leave his house makes him lonely. He misses his friends and engaging in fun activities with them, especially the enjoyment of shared meals in the school canteen.

Instead of succumbing to loneliness, he creatively chooses to reconnect with his long-forgotten guitar, incorporating a fresh activity into his daily routine. Unable to interact with friends in person, he resorted to online calls to stay connected. He started developing new hobbies, such as reading books that helped him check on his mental health or a book about self-development.

As he gazes out the window, observing the night sky, he realizes that the pandemic has taught him valuable lessons. He takes pride in getting to know himself better, understanding that being alone isn't inherently negative. Despite the dark moments of the pandemic, he recognizes the presence of an open door-a hopeful opportunity waiting on the other side.
