It's been a roller coaster these past 15 months. I honestly don't know where to begin, thinking about it just hurts my head. So much has happened, falling in love, travelling, working and trying to heal. Trying to heal is a hard thing to do during 3 lockdowns (no that isn't a typo) & 2 stay-at-home-orders. We are currently on our 3rd lockdown and I pray it's our last one in this lifetime. Our government's handling of the pandemic has been one big cluster-fuck: from the vaccine roll-outs, to their attempts at trying to put us under a police state to the un-necessary lockdowns. Lockdowns clearly don't work, at least up here they don't. I do think things are starting to improve since the majority of the population has received their first dose, including myself. I was jabbed in April. Of course I wanted the Pfizer vaccine but unforunately I didn't have a choice. That particular vaccine was reserved to the elderly and those living in the hotspots. I got stuck with AzstraZeneca. That same dreaded vaccine that people didn't want to take on account of people dying from blood-clots. What the media failed to mention was those people who died from the blood clots had underlying conditions. I won't lie, I was disappointed I couldn't get Pfizer. In the world of fashion the Pfizer vaccine is like owning a luxury Bulgari or Chanel handbag whereas AZ is like owning a Michael Kors bag, available at outlets and even Marshalls! Oy. But hey, I did get a cool Star-Wars bandage!!
Our current stay-at-home order expired 2 days again however the "Grand Re-Opening" of the economy will begin in 10 days. It hasn't been easy especially when everyone in the US is living la vida loca with restrictions and mask mandates lifted. I do feel the light at the end of this miserable and crappy tunnel we've been living in up here is finally arriving. That light is faintly glowing in the distance.
When I started this blog way back when, I started it for me. I love to write and document things. I've been doing so since I learned how to write. In my 2018 entry I made a promise to myself I'd be writing/blogging regularly again but shamefully I didn't keep that promise on account of work and travel. I was keeping things documented on my IG page instead by posting pictures and briefly writing little blurbs.
You're probably wondering what I've been up to? As I wrote in the beginning of this post, "I honestly don't know where to begin."
I'm not one to reveal too much when it comes to my romantic life but if you've been following my blog then you know from my past few posts there was someone in my life........I'm reminded of a quote from the film "Fried Green Tomatoes"
"You know, a heart can be broken, but it keeps on beating, just the same"
XOXO,
