Make up with life

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, a strange and terrible dream has been haunting me. It was a scene where I stayed in a crowd having a good time, but suddenly I realized I didn't wear a mask and the virus might hit me at any time. Then I would be freaked out. Each time I woke up from the "nightmare", I would feel grateful that it's just a dream, and there's no virus around me. But it still took me a few minutes to calm down. I have to admit that I've born a great burden for a long time, but, facing everyone around me, I've been trying to be relaxed.

Throughout this year, I've been thinking a lot about life, health, work and others. I finally realize I should pay more attention to myself rather than what others think about me and whom they want me to be. More importantly, I begin to accept myself to be ordinary. I think it's a good chance to be reconciled with myself. What I need now is to be down-to-earth and improve myself a little every day, putting unrealistic thoughts and troubles behind me.

Life goes on! To make a living, we have to adapt to everything in a new normal. We may value something more or get something over. It's just a kind of life attitude, having nothing to do with what is good or bad. Just be more like ourselves!

Two days later, we'll say goodbye to the year of 2020 and welcome a new start. I sincerely hope everyone can live a healthy and happy life. Please cherish the people who have kept us company in difficult times.

See you next time!
