Well, first of all, I don't know how long this text will be, I really just want to express my accumulated thoughts of almost 9 months, and I also practicing my writing skills so, two birds with one stone.
Well all began as we know, about march 2020, and personaly in my country it was very suddenly, literally it was the evening after school when we got the news of a ''quarantine'' due the new ''Chinese virus'' so I actually went to school for last time without even knowing it was the last time I put a foot of that building, I kissed my (now ex)girlfriend for the last time without even knowing it was the last time, I laughed with my friends and played Basketball without knowing it was the last time I crushed them (Just kidding I suck at Bkb).
At the beginning it was a quarantine just for 21 days, so I thought like ''Hell yeah free vacations'' I was very wrong...
More sooner than later we realized how grave the situation actually was. Both my parents are doctors but we thought it wasn't something too severe to worry about. We started to recieve''Online classes'' I should admit it, it wasn't too bad, but the situation of this virus not only in my country but also in the whole word started to getting even worse, april was a transition month between the newness and the seriousness of the situation I even remember myself making fun of the situation.
May started and at that point I haven't seen my girlfriend in ''real life'' for about 2 months, troubles started to show up, we started to be colder with each other, also in may occurred other 3 things that I'm not expressing in public due the fact they are very personal but they just changed my life and the way I percieve it.
June started and after a bad weeks I finally broke up with my girlfriend but to be honest I wasn't even worried I take a position in which I told myself ''Well, things happened and is the cycle of events, everything that starts has to end''
Fortunately I was always sorrounded by such a good friends that made all this process more easly to go through.
At July I discovered my passion for foreing languages, I discovered Italian, I re-found the love for German and I started to appreciate more the English language, I could easly say that languages saved my mental health during the lockdown, because I had things to make during the day, I had things to learn during the worse, darker and more overwhelming days of the modern humanity.
Outcome: I can not say ''I had an horrible time during lockdown'' because I always had nourishment on my table, I can not say ''Omg I was always worried about the future'' because my parents were always healthy and with an stable work, I can not say ''I feel bad because I wasted my time'' Because I didn't.
But I'm sure other people can say all the things I just described and even more, if you that are reading this can agree with one of the statements I said, I respect you, because even though the things you'd lived you still getting interested on learning something new every day, on learning a foreing language or helping other ones to learn (like helping to me correcting this text) and in summary trying to be always a better person, I really respect you.
I hope you guys a better 2021
