When it is bright and sunny, shadows of yesterday are still cast.

Productivity is essential, but not at the cost of one’s mental health. This is the time to heal, self-isolation is all about living in the chaos of your thoughts. Get to know yourself, make the pressing decision you have always pushed ahead. Why reserve the pros and cons for the university examination paper, use them for life decisions? Why reserve one’s accomplishments and trials for retirement speeches, get an overview of the life you have lived, now? 

Some of us are privileged enough to get the gift of time in these unprecedented times. Finding opportunities in adversity is a virtue many around us have imbibed. We, as a species, are the only survivors from our genus. We have been built to last. 

It may seem gloomy and forlorn in the absence of sunshine. But when the sun returns stronger and brighter, make sure you cast taller shadows from the wisdom you acquired in its absence. Make the most of the situation you are in, permanency is a myth.
