The earth will take a deep breath again
Isolation knocked at our doorsteps, silently letting the chaos take away our loved ones, in a cold whisper that we never heard Time seemed to reach a full stop, after an eternity of chasing after us We stalked those moments that had passed by our helpless eyes and my hungry mind fed on the fear- That now creeps in The fear that this remoteness may envelope me, in a dark blanket And dim our bright eyes of the earth’s beauty In the ethereal paintings made by the sky, and the moonlight illuminating the streets And not to forget, the desolate and ugly that hides in corners within a planet that...
'A' for Able to work and study together
Hey, I know what you feel. It is hard to do something, hard to keep studying, hard to read books when you stay at home all day long. Maybe you feel helpless and lost. Did you notice that your parents are feeling the same too? Then it is time to act! You can do something big in order to help yourself and family! Your superpower is to support them and help to create a comfortable space to work or study. This will benefit not only you but the whole family!
Covid-19 poem
Covid-19 isn’t any kind of flu It’s taking over our 2020 Social Media and all of our foes Are telling lies, they’re all just a hoax People take this as a joke But the worldwide death rate is 333,001 We are all struggling through this time The people believe this is a war People overreacting and acting like fools Fake lies like labs and other tools I just hope we have vaccinations No one knows why this is happening This is no one's fault, they say But every day there’s someone at the park It’s dark we just need the light We have seen some things we’ve seen that we all have sight Now...
COVID-19
I would like to express my gratitude to the medical staff who are standing on the frontlines to fight COIVD-19. Epidemic prevention is everyone's responsibility, but we can't successfully keep away from the disease without them standing on the frontlines to treat patients and study viruses.
Mastermind: Master your mind
We have all been reading, watching videos or attending webinars related to well-being and mental health. Here is one short story. When this lock down started it was a bit relaxing in this the beginning and I was enjoying it. Being a introvert I did not find it difficult. Gradually it started taking a turn. Living by yourself during this period makes things even more difficult. So, I thought I would assign myself the task of meditation. I wanted to do this in order to calm my mind and to be at peace with myself. I did not choose the regular mediation process (like sitting crossed leg, closing...
I Wish COVID-19 Ends Soon
COVID-19 has affected so many people: students, employees, business owners, and many more. It has claimed numerous lives. People are suffering in various ways. I believe that with the help of God, this too shall pass. Let us not lose our faith in Him.
Super Heroes
They've always been working behind the scenes, They've been taken for granted They're the true heroes of the Pandemic Keeping our lives safe and virus-free
Altruistic Service
I am a member of the "Tibi Rident Foundation" where we seek to train young people in the city of Pereira in an environment of altruistic service, carrying out training in five areas which are the fundamental pillars, which are "Family, Social, Spiritual, Personal and Educational". For society in recent years, indifference towards social or economic classes has increased exponentially, where the neglect of vulnerable communities has been the main reason for the lack of support for them, from the departmental to the national government. For this reason, young people from the city of Pereira...
It's Not Over
In the midst of this pandemic, there have been a few terms passed around the media. The terms "Rebuild" and "Reimagine" are the ideals of what we want to do while shaping the future we want to live once we get through these unprecedented times. In a world so afraid of change, we are being told that it will happen one way or another. The idea that we will not go back to the way things use to be, but to a new normal being sculpted along this journey has divided people based on their feelings and fears. We are taking notes in fields like education, government, and the sciences and learning in...
Health Calling: Protect Your Mental Well-Being
The year 2020 has been nothing but cruel to the world, the disaster is escalating every day. In this scenario where everything gets negative, this blog is about finding ways to stay mentally stable. A crisis isn’t a crisis unless it has taken the maximum from you. One in today is the havoc of the Corona Virus.

The Social Impacts of COVID-19
The Mask
Wearing a mask has become a sign of utmost empathy one can show to another We do not wear a mask to protect ourselves, but rather to protect others It is an implicit statement of love, not fear I wear my mask to prevent the spread of the virus that can make you sick Not because I think everyone around me has the virus and wants to infect me Not because I am afraid of the virus I wear my mask to comfort you, not to make you feel apprehensive I wear my mask as a solider in this war against a microscopic threat that spares nobody It is armor Six feet apart and a piece of fabric to cover our face...
COVID-19: What I Experienced
Perhaps symbolically, on Friday the 13th of March I started self-isolating with my sister as we both had symptoms of COVID 19. It was a full 10 days before the UK went into lockdown and whilst we were stuck inside, the world I knew was being ground to a historic halt. Being detached from everyone, even my family, was surreal. The 14 day period we spent in quarantine was exhausting. At the start we didn’t know much, information on the situation was being drip fed via newspaper articles and columns. The guidance was geared towards older people and I was constantly left with more questions than...
Trapped
One of the situations of great magnitude, with which we have had to face as humanity today; It is the COVID-19 Pandemic that took us by surprise. The confinement in our homes to stop the immediate spread of the virus and thus avoid the collapse of health systems around the world, has been able to reveal other social problems that spread daily and we cannot forget. Due to the quarantine, although gender violence increased, also children and adolescents who were already victims of domestic violence have been trapped with their aggressor. The abuse can be physical or psychological and the...
