I remember it was early May 2020 lockdown my dad and brother contracted covid.
I had to sleep and basically live in the sitting room, lower floor while all the other members including mom lived on the 2nd and 3rd floor.
Kitchen was in the 2 ND floor so mom slept in the kitchen.
I was alone by myself.
I had almost 0 close friends who'd text me everyday.
All I had was my phone, books, weights and football.
I'd wake up at 5am
Read for 30 min.
Drink black coffee and a banana.
All the fields were closed so I'd shift the sofa and do drills on the wall, for a good 1 hours and I'd weight train.
Then I'd shower and do my classes.
After my classes I'd study and watch self improvement videos and football highlights.
I'd sleep sometimes crying because I was so lonely.
Sometimes I felt if life was worth living.
My family was at mess, my mom was so stressed.
My dad got into depression.
My brother too, he was just 13 years old then.
I remember I read can't hurt me by David Goggins and it changed my view on life.
How lucky I was to have what I have and I was forever grateful.
I'll leave you with this quote
