It would be a miss if I didn’t mention the time of Covid in this blog. I have stayed home for the last 7 days, I mean literrally not stepping out of my apartment. Thank God that I have a balcony to walk out to and open the door everyday. My apartment is very bright, so I get natural light all day long until night time, I think it’s because of the height I’m currently in.

Anyway, let me go back to the time of Covid. I’m living in the historic time where Covid has changed every single life on Earth, and everyday I’m trying my best to help those in need as much as I can.

There are couple norm that is currently happening in the world:

• The sound of ambulance because a normal sound
• Death became an easy part
• There’s no space whatsoever in the hospital
• We are operating under the assumption of every man for himself

One of the students work in Bliss has his father unconscious in the last 2 days, and we couldn’t find anywhere to fit his father in. My heart immediately went out to him when he said: ” Em lo quá chị ơi” , ” giờ mình làm sao hả chị? ” ” em sợ quá chị ơi” . I’ve been there, so I know how tough and difficult it is. I also know telling him ” em bình tĩnh” is a stupid advice. He has all the rights to be panic, and I know how much I hate it when someone tell me to ” calm down” , of course I cannot calm down.

So I chose a different path, I told him how to deal with his situtation. I helped him when he can and I told him to breath just for 1 minute and then move on to the next step.

I cannot help much, I don’t have the power, or the knowledge or the information but somehow he relies on me. ” Chị ơi, chị giúp ba em với” , chị ơi chị giúp em với. I just want to immediately took the van from Bliss and went straight there to see him, just to help whatever I can. I also know it’s no a smart move, I can’t do anything if I’m there or here in my apartment.

A father of a new born child just die after 12 days alone in the apartment.

In this time of Covid, the thing about self is to take care of yourself first, then we can help each other.

I cannot think much right now because my mind goes a million thing. I will write some more later today
