My lockdown experience to be briefed was super boring or rather the time spent living during lockdown seemed wasted or you could call it non-productive. During the start of lockdown, I used every moment of my time to play many sorts of games and by that I mean its genre, after playing nonstop for almost 3 months, the enthusiasm I had for games went down a notch and every game I start to play would seem pretty boring. After those first three months I started to gain interest in Japanese animations, so for the next five months it seemed to have my mind pretty occupied. Well after watching most of the popular and good Japanese animations (anime) there didn’t seem to have any interesting animations left and after watching for so many months, I came to understand common Japanese language.
After so many months of being a device worm I started to do some exercises, but due to the accumulated laziness through the year I was barely able to do so. Still with an unwavering will I continued to work out bit-by-bit, although I can’t be compared to how fit I was the previous year still making small progress is better than nothing at all. Due to lockdown and online classes my understanding of my liked subject decreased due to which I lost interest in them by a notch. This year was taxing for both my body and mind. There were positive sides of this lockdown as well and its sure that I enjoyed the whole year but there were no difficulties or hurdles that can be confronted, no interaction with friends or strangers, no improvement in social interaction and the bonds formed over the years weakened. Although I couldn’t find any self-improvement through the year, I hope from an optimistic view that the coming years would be sweeter than this one.
This year I learned one thing that life may knock us down but it’s ourselves which will decide whether to remain knocked down or to get up and get back at life.
Here is some of the common question people ask — — >
Describe the lockdown in one word answers - Constricted
What were the positive effects of lockdown?
Although I found it quite bothering, I realized some important life lessons such as even if we’re left alone we have to push through the circumstances without any regards to others or to love yourself more than anything and to invest more time on yourselves.
What were the negative effects of lockdown?
My ability to trust and freely talk to people was somewhat forgotten and I can consider myself much more introverted as compared to previous years.
How has lockdown impacted your outlook towards life?
Through this year I came to an understanding that adult lifestyle is very difficult and can be compared to somewhat scary but only after pushing through those difficulties we will be able to set our sights on the fruit of hard work we’ve been striving from childhood. My perspective on people and their mindsets changed and realized how a person can be worth much more than what seems to our eye. My very perspective on humanity has changed to a better state than before.
How did this lockdown affect your mental health?
Well due to not much interactions my brain’s reaction rates as well as response rates may have become a little rusted and my concentration and my ability to grasp content is somewhat became a little unpolished. The positive factor is that my will to stand against something is becoming better and better.
