For us, everything has changed. Over time we’ve made these tiny adjustments to adapt and sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about how everything has changed forever. Will I always look back on this for the rest of my life?
The thought of posting about my my trip to Maldvies in January had this surge of emotions in me. My thoughts are a mix of overwhelming anxiety, fear, guilt about my privilege (which is always there) being brought to the forefront. Is it wrong for me to process about every single change?
“Oh I like working from home anyway”
“Yay! More time to spend with my husband!”
“Finally, I can start experimenting with cooking”
Why do I force myself to view everything in a positive lens?
It really shines a light back to early January when I was spending my birthday in Maldives with my husband. It was a special trip for us because I was going to be away for 2 months for work and we were going to be in a long distance later in the year. We made the most of it. The only thought in my mind for that week was what do I wear and which part of the ocean do we explore next?
I’m grateful for that time and I treasure it.
