Learn something new!
Have you been affected by COVID-19 and what have you learnt about yourself?
Yes, I have. I’ve learnt that I’m more resilient and stronger than I thought.
Describe your life during this time?
I try to take a step at a time, enjoy every day, be familiar with a slower living pace as I’ve moved to a new location, Vancouver.
What about the future?
Things will be better!
What positives can be taken from the changes in our lives?
To develop a better understanding of ourselves, be more adaptive, realise which things are actually important in life and what isn’t!
