2020 a year that I thought was going to be the year. But it did not turn out that way at all. Especially for my daughter who is in Matric this year, the year that is filled with so many memories and good times, gone...she will never have those memories. The memories she will have is sharing a office with her mom while she does home schooling, with no social interaction with friends. Not being able to leave the house. Can you imagine how they must be feeling, the pressure that they are currently under. Yes, school started, but with what a back log. These matric’s need to give everything they have just to catch up. I know how I am feeling, and I work from home, so this should not have been a problem for me at all. But all of a sudden everyone's worlds changed, I felt like the walls were closing in on me. I was a lot more stressed, just because of the word ”Lockdown”.
None of us asked for this, but it happened anyway. Was it a sign that the earth just needed a break from people, who will ever know. But what makes me sad is how many people lost their jobs, will we ever be able to catch up on all the losses. I don’t know, nobody can say for certain what the future holds for us. But personally I believe that every person should just play their part in combating this pandemic. Wear your mask, sanitize your hands, keep your social distancing. You are not doing any one else a favour, but its for your own safety.
Something that has been on my mind which is very personal to me, is the su***de rate that has increased drastically, and there are so many matric’s that could just not handle the pressure. Parents, how well do you know your children, can you tell when they are stressed out, or it things are getting to them. Do they know they can discuss their problems with your. Can you imagine what must be going through a parents mind when a child of theirs commit su***de. I can’t imagine being in that situation, because I will not be able to handle the stress. Do we know how thin the threat is between sanity and losing it. If you are in a situation and you just can’t see any other way out, what goes through their minds. I have been in dark places before where I did not want to go on, but then I think about my kids, my husband and family and what will it do to them. I will not be able to go through with such an act. This has been a bad year, and a year no one wants to remember, but keep your loved ones close to you, love them and let them know that you will always be there for them, no matter what. My heart breaks every time I hear a parent tell their story of how their child committed su***de.
Don’t judge other people by just looking at them, because you have no idea what is happening in their life. They might smile at you, but deep down they might be so hurt. Lets be more patient with each other. Start smiling at people around you, even greet them, because you never know when you will be making a difference in someones life, by just being kind.
