Prisoner

My title seems a little controversial ain't it? Well, I am not gonna write about a criminal here today but myself. Well, a prisoner is most likely a person who is held captive and today somewhat I also feel like a prisoner but with privilege. A little backstory, Fiji is one of the countries to this date having an increasing number of Covid cases, and whelp I became a close contact of one. So I got myself swabbed 10 days earlier and sent into self-isolation. I was privileged enough to stay home and isolate myself as I haven't been confirmed positive yet. After my 14 days of trial, I assume I will have to re-swab myself again for confirmation if I can be set free. I have known my close friends even my Best friend get covid. For the past 10 days, I've been looking at the 4 walls in my room. But I have started to learn a lot of lessons within the confinement period. First, to top the list would be the importance of family, not being able to mingle with them or being able to hug your loved ones really aches me to my core. But I can have a lot of time to myself and enjoy the marathons, start online certifications and look into developing a new skill. These indeed are the longest 14 days of my life. It did feel good having breakfast in bed, being free from the chores haha but I cant wait to go out and feel the freshness again because it does get suffocating and lonely being confined. If being confined with privilege was so suffocating imagine how the convicts must be, they are confined for their crimes and this wasn't any crime I committed but the negligence of COVIDIOTS. So please follow covid safe measures and think of others around you because none of us want to be confined within the four walls.

Be Safe my readers
