Life at the moment is, at the very least, bizarre. For everybody, everywhere.
Things we value have been taken away from us; family time, travel plans, shopping trips, nights out with our friends, day trips to different cities. We don't have the freedom that we're used to.
With all those things taken away, the things we value have shifted. Weekly zoom calls with family and friends, the kindness of strangers, spending quality time doing little more than nothing with the people we live with.
As the things we value are changing, so is our perspective.
This bizarre life we're living has, if nothing else, cast a sliver of light on what's really, truly important.
People, experiences, moments.
Never again will I take for granted a quick coffee with a friend, a hug from a family member, an evening meander to the local pub with my man.
These simple pleasures currently only exist as memories, and as hopeful glimpses of a future that seems far away.
And when we get there I'll be cherishing every moment and only hoping that whatever else happens in my life, this change in perspective will stick.
