Find Your Calm Again
Coronavirus wasn't the only thing that was spreading when the pandemic began. Memes about staying home during a lockdown being every introverts' dream come true were going viral on social media. "Introverts, this is the moment we've been preparing for all our lives." I chuckled as I read those memes because they reminded me of my husband, Juan. For introverts, staying home is their comfort zone because they can limit social interactions. For many extroverts like myself, it can be challenging because social interactions energize us. During the first few months of the pandemic, I was busy adjusting and didn't pay much attention to how I felt. But after that I was hit by a load of emotions. I began to realize what I was missing — the warmth and familiarity of my family in Malaysia, lively social gatherings, and adventurous travels.
