If someone asks me, "How is the time of lockdown in your eyes?" I then remember one of my favorite people who said, "It's a precious time. Unwanted, but welcome." I believe most readers are frowning, "What does this girl say? We're getting bored of sitting at home, going crazy with depression and frustration, and she thinks it's a good time?" Then if I say more, lockdown would rather saved me from depression, how would you react?
The thing is : introverts see the world in a different way which the extroverts cannot understand. I want the world to know how introverts see the world.
The school days of 2019-2020 became a burden to me. Going to school was another name for loneliness and depression for me because of my growing introversion. Especially when I saw others hanging out with friends and talking, my loneliness would increase a few times more. I am a person of a different personality. Making friends is not an easy task for me. And being a friend of me is a difficult task for others. I prayed to get rid of school. Although I did not even dream that it would be fulfilled in this way.
One of the things that has benefited me the most from the lockdown is that I've found myself. I've spent a lot of time with myself, and I've learned to love myself. I knew about the concept 'LOVE MYSELF' earlier,but it came to life during lockdown. It also helped me to get rid of loneliness and depression. Now my perception about life has changed a lot. I love my life more than before. My outlook has now become much more positive. I am still lonely. Even lonelier than before. But now I can confront my loneliness. I can surpress it by things that I love. Me, my family,my hobbies. I live my life for me,I smile for me.
The second benefit of lockdown is spending time with family. In the past, I was afraid to calculate how much time was spent with family, so time was reduced. My school, my parents' busy schedule - all in all, the time spent with family members was reduced at an unusual rate. Lockdown which has come up at least at a moderate rate. Which has also improved our relationship.
The biggest thing is that only the introvert has found a different kind of peace in the lockdown. There is a different kind of joy in being in touch with one's favorite house, favorite things. Which I am feeling now.
In the beginning I started by talking about one of my favorite people. Let me end with one of his words.
- Min Yoon-Gi, South Korean idol
You can do that too. The control of lockdown is not in our hand. So we should use the time positively. Because, it is a historic time. Such a time may not come again in our life. What we have got, maybe no other generation will ever get. We can turn this into an opportunity.
