New World

I created a Twitter account a while back—it was solely for the purpose of letting out random rants. Prior to Twitter, I’ve been doing that through my blogs (more than one, since I make a new one when I feel that I ended a phase. I don’t delete previous blogs though, I just put them under a different address ;)) but somehow, no matter how I psyched myself that I will blog again, I couldn’t do that regularly anymore.

Times have been different though, especially now.

We’ve reached an age wherein every move is judged by people, and broadcasted to everyone for them to judge more. I find myself thinking thoroughly about things I want to post, when in reality, every one should be entitled to his/her opinion. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. And now that the world’s going through a pandemic, the more meticulous people had become.

And so I find myself coming back here, where I can just blurt out random thoughts and people have less possibility reading them.

The truth is I’m scared. I’m considered one of the lucky ones—I have a stable income despite everything, solid roof above my head, food and necessities are available, and loved ones are so far safe. But I’m still scared. Everything hangs by a thread now. I have friends whose companies stopped paying them. People are out of jobs and/or have nothing to eat. More and more people dying. The government’s all f***ed up.

When will this end? How is the world affected after this? How am I after this? What will the new world be like?
