Mar 2020
Most of us wake up with a slight feel of confusion and nostalgia of this moment and the past that was just a moment ago where was once a dream taken for granted. We thought we’d be celebrating people’s weddings, birthdays and cherishing the Sri Lankan aunty kiss on the cheek, that are more like deep inhales that I usually hate but I miss them already and it’s only been one week.
Classes online, businesses closed, livelihoods at stake, and I am here in my homeland stuck with my family in a house where we take turns to escape and so, we step into the backyard for a much needed break.
But I am so Thankful. Thankful that I’m with the people I love at a time like this, a moment that lacks the clarity of the meaningful definition of bliss.
Thankful that there is still love and deep emotion for one another whether over Skype and FaceTime throughout this commotion. And I know, I know that we will all come out of this stronger than ever. And we will all move beyond this dreaded nightmare, lessons will be learnt and crisis overcome together. Together is the only way. So this is all to say hopefully. Hopeful that people will come together all over the world and help one another, lend a hand emotionally, physically, financially and then maybe just maybe, we will rise again and earn a second chance with a cure from this sickness, a chance from mother earths fury and forgiveness.
Be sensitive to what other people may be going through at a time like this, and then maybe we can go back to dancing Baila and to plead another Aunty’s kiss.
Maybe a second chance of romance, a healthier planet, better health care, better systems in place, so that there’s less inequalities and wake up from this nightmare without a trace.
Anyway i just wanted to say please be responsible and safe. Not just for yourself but for everyone is at stake.
Stay indoors for now friends and family, and I hope tomorrow we wake up into a better place, a happier place a more sustainable one for our kids and grand kids and all the generations and healed respirations.
Lots of love,
The end of a nightmare.
