January seemed to rush past me. So Fast. So soon. By no means unexpected but it feels like I am still trying to come to terms with everything and already 31 days of 2021 are past me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The month has been pretty productive. Looking back, I managed to ensure I was at least partly successful in terms of things I wanted to accomplish. I made significant progress on certain short-term and long-term goals I had and it feels great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, for some reason, those wins don’t rise up over the pandemic. The socially distanced world doesn’t give me opportunities enough to complain or celebrate. It makes time move faster than it actually does. January – gone so fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been achieving but nothing I win seem to measure against everything that is lost around me. The losses seem mounting – so fast. My small achievements seem insignificant next to the losses the world is facing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The political unrest around the world, unsettles the mostly apolitical me. The stories social media feeds me scare me. I turn inward and that journey taunts me for being selfish. January has been great but disastrous too. So fast. So long. So great. So many lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly I feel the rest of 2021 is going to have similar sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
