Entering my 30's.

On March 17, 2020 I turned 30 years old. I must say it was a strange way to enter my 30's as it was my very last day of work and very last time everything seemed normal as COVID-19 came around. As it was already around I guess this is when it starting to have a high number of cases and was worrisome. I tend to call it the month the world changed. I was so excited to enter a new decade of ages in my life. I'm lucky enough to mention I was able to enjoy my birthday but still seemed weird knowing it would be the last night everything was going to be open for awhile. With social distancing it starting to become lonely. At first it didn't seem as bad. But the more and more it became the normal situation to avoid being around people was tough to get use to. Wearing of the mask wasn't bad when it started out but now it's a must absoutely everywhere. It's now almost the end of November and nothing seems to have calmed down or chaged. Seems to be getting worse before it gets better I suppose. If this is the new normal then we have no choice but to get use to it. I'm sure in time it'll get better again but for now we just have to be safe and stay home. Don't be selfish, what if it was you with a weak immune system or a family member. I know some think it's all a hoax and that's fine. Everyone has their own point of view, their own mind, etc. It's not a time to worry about what people think right, just as long as you're following precautions. I pray the new year has better things to come. Stay positive everyone, we got this! A good outcome for myself with this year is I became sober, best decision I ever did. I found myself while I lost myself. In a way this year has showed me how much better life is. I appreciate family more, friends, health and freedom. Where would I be without any of that? The importance of the things that make you who you are is the key to being happy. My happiness was there all along but I needed to find it, and this is what opened my eyes. I broke free from the horrible dream I was living in. To think I was living that way thinking it was fun scares me. My life is so much better in just the 2 months of becoming sober. Was I really going to drink my 30's away? I basically wasted my 20's but you know what it is never too late to change. I have many things to look foward to in my life. The best is coming and I am so excited so live it up. Thankful. Thankful is the word I will use because it's what I feel. Thankful and blessed and I want everyone to be able to feel that. Everyone deserves that. So instead of trying to find anything negative I only want to see the positive. My 30's will and are going to be the best days of my life. Glad I took the right path for once. I am looking forward to sharing the best memories in the making with everyone.
