My Lockdown Experience

Dear diary, this third lockdown is so boring we have Boris saying one thing and then Chris saying another, they just can’t be trusted. What they are saying is it even the truth? I don’t know what to believe diary, also we do not even know when this virus will be gone and we don’t know when we will meet our family again. I miss my aunt, uncle, cousins, friends and best friends.

I just don’t know when anything will be back to normal. I wish that at the snap of a finger everything could be normal but no, that’s not happening anytime soon.

Diary, my mental health is all over the place, sometimes I feel relaxed and happy staying at home, but then sometimes I feel annoyed and sick of staying at home. I honestly sometimes feel like I’m Doctor Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Seriously what is the world turning into? The world was put to silence after the alarming cases of Covid 19 increased and the death rate evolved rapidly.

Diary, I think I’ve become a more mature and responsible adult while I’ve been in lockdown. I also think I’ve been through so much during these strange and dangerous times. But I feel so happy and proud of how I coped during these emotional times as I completed a photography assignment and I was graded with a pass which was a big shock as I thought I wouldn’t even get the work done on time. However, for the assignment to be handed in on time that was a huge relief taken off my shoulders.

The image below describes how people were feeling during lockdown, it could also show the feeling of confusion, what to do next and how will I be able to last during this lockdown. A caption for this image is what do I do? This image shows how confused people were during the lockdown. The hand gestures are used to show confusion and to ask questions such as what do I do? Where do I go? And who do I see? In this image there is a composition of pattern and repetition and also there is not much colour which can also symbolise

how dark my mind was during lockdown and how some people were feeling just staying at home not even allowed to go to the gym or leisure centre because

the death rate and number of cases meant that everything had to close apart from shops where you could get essential items such as eggs, milk, bread. To be honest diary I don’t know when everything will be back to normal or should I say the new normal lol.

Diary what to do next maybe get the vaccine and then go on holiday I don’t know to be fair let’s see what happens next. I’m waiting to see my family in Pakistan and I want to travel all around the world, I mean you only live once right and you need to get out there and live a little.
