This post about lockdown blues and a hopeful future is from Lehini Nair, a ten-year old Malaysian girl who is presently living in Muscat.
Coronavirus thrives on our lives.
People say stay strong but I can’t stay strong any longer.
I just want to break the walls and feel life again, play with my friends, and live life without feeling like I have lost it.
I want to feel the wind in my hair, brushing against my skin with nothing holding me back, not even the virus. I just want to break free and go back to see my family.
How we learn now is not how I want to acquire knowledge. I want to see the world and faces outside, not be held captive in a house. I feel like I have been punished without even doing a crime.
But in some ways this will be an experience that will be shared with generations to come.
There’s also some things about it that are loved. It taught me to be grateful and adapt to whatever that might happen.
One thing I have to say is - if we are all in this together, we can beat the virus and live life like normal children ... feel the earth and the essence of our loved ones and mates.
