Here we are, in the midst of the storm, a virus hitting the world seems like movie fiction in the ultimate form. Have we though we would be here? The world we knew of yesterday slowly keeps fading as it never was. I have felt this emotion before and have lost a world I once knew, and I can’t help to think it is all too familiar, just on another tone. My message of rejoice and always looking ahead of the tunnel never seemed to matter more than today. People are scared, and there are people dying everywhere, faster and faster. Is it possible we came to the tipping point of our existence and finally get to meet the maker? Answers require thoughtful examination however the world will never stay the same regardless. I feel as people, we should overthink how we want to come out from this. This has happened, and now we must adapt, but what way are we going to do that? I know for my end; I will take a step back before making any drastic moves. I don’t know enough to be able to assess the situation properly and in life, it’s always the same motion: assess, plan, design, execute, maintain. No matter the project and no matter the task, this principle must be respected to maintain efficiency in how we achieve our goals. In the midst of this storm, I find myself almost vulnerable. I fight this feeling of feeling touchable. I try to distance myself, protect myself and ensure I can go through this without real struggle. If life thought me anything, it is in these moments that people get made. Forged into who you were meant to be. Do you come out fighting or you just give up? Giving up would be letting go of your instincts and becoming fearful to what will happen to you. A moment like this will mark everyone that lives in, and at this stage, almost the entire planet is living through it, and without any stop in sign. It will stop, but it might take a while to recover from a pandemic. Now the better part.

I wanted to note of this event because I understand that tracking these moments is key to understanding eventually myself. Do I have some fear? Definitely. It would be very stupid of me to underestimate any treat that comes toward me. My life has been an example of it. Life is about to become quite complicated, and while everything seems the same outside, that is just the grand illusion of this world, and one of its many schemes. We often take things for granted, and the amount of times I have written about enjoying the moment, and the importance of it only makes me happy I lived by this rule in my life. Every moment, I took a breath and build a mental picture so I could always relive it in my mind, in my dreams and in my eyes. Now, I can’t even enjoy half of these moments. What if I lose most of these privileges? Time goes on, and while things seemed to have slowed down, once again an illusion of the great and a reason why we must understand that time goes on, regardless. Every moment to come, is also to be cherished and mentally engraved in your mind so you can always remember how nice it once way.

I hope in this all, people remember that while there is much to fear, not to lose sight. Obstacles, some smaller some bigger, come and go, but it is up to us to adapt and make the most of this life. Be fearful, but don’t be afraid. Be safe but risk it all to make it through. Love all, and never lose your cool. One day, we will understand much better what has happened. We will adapt, or at least I will. Hold each other, and while protect yourself, but always lend a hand. No matter the outcome, always better a human at the end.

We are in the real deal. One battle at a time soldier.
