In January 2021, my country was still in a winter Lockdown to slow down the spread of Covid19 virus particles. I felt shame and pity in January because I learned that Britain has the highest rate of Covid19 deaths in the world. Over 100,000 Brits were killed by the virus, yet our population is less than 70 million. So many Brits were infected that the virus mutated into a more lethal fast spreading strain. I felt shame that we failed to stop the virus from doing so much damage, some so called developing countries managed to stop the virus completely. I felt pity because all those people had family and friends that lost a loved one too soon.
January was also the month when Joseph Biden was elected president of the United States of America. I don't support any political group in this world, I just listen and observe. I wish him good luck.
All I would do is be more Alan. I play card games on my phone and and create many things inside my head. I would watch Netflix and youtube playlists and daydream about being in a position where I can nurture all my hobbies and try not to think about what I can't control.
I keep my chin up for Spring and hope for happier times.
