Sad Creative Nonfiction Drama

It all began as I was living my life in the normal world we called planet Earth. Making a living, working every day, being grateful to be alive once again another day, seemed like it was going to last forever. At least I kind of hoped it would, people running around doing different things throughout their days, like nothing was ever going to happen. There was a time I went to sleep and my day was perfect when I would wake up, would go out to eat, enjoy the day with kids, thank god for the day that was ready for me to set out on my journey. Suddenly by the time i woke up the next day everything changed. My once normal life was over and a new totally different perspective was beforehand I had to live my life in a bubble. You would hear it everywhere things were different there was this thing called a virus going around that was making people sick, and nobody even knew how to react to it. Everyday you would see more and more people trying to be like I dont know really what to do, should I stay home, should I stock up on medication, what should I do. Felt like the world was flipped upside down like we was awake one minute and was put into a blender and then woke up to something that was nothing like our life before. More and more each day things kept getting ridiculously hectic, toilet paper, sanitizer, everyone was reacting different. This virus was invisible but somehow it was catching up to everyone one by one. First it was wearing the masks, then it was no places would be open, like what happened did someone shut off the electricity like i was only asleep for a few seconds. Then stores became over run with people wanting to protect themselves and their families with whatever they could, none of us still to this day don't know what to make of all of it. It's impossible how something like this could happen to our world, when we was just getting used to the way we was living already. Its like when a tornado strikes you don't know when it is gonna happen or when it will show up you just know that you was told the weather was bad, and that eventually you would have to take shelter some way some how, to keep safe. This is just like that, you was living your life in the normal than its like a monster came and snatched up our whole world in one bite. Day light turned to darkness in less than a second, and it's like you just blink your eyes than everything is gone.

One day there will be no sorrow, no crying, no sickness, everything will be alright, the virus will be gone. But nobody can speculate when that could happen. You just want to put your life in fast forward mode and get to the point of being where you want to be. Life has changed not for the better, but you want to look on the bright side of things, we are still living life, it may not be the same at the moment not even normal, things may be going on that you can't completely understand or explain in the simplest way but we are all still people like we was before this virus happened. We are still here and all still family, god still loves us and holds us in his hands and protects us from everything and helps us be stronger people each day and fills us with love. Appreciate what you have and don't take life for granted, love one another, and be kind in every way possible, believe there is a god and he will save us once again like he did long ago, and will rid us of this virus. We will all be alright life will turn back time and be like nothing even happened. We are still ourselves, just with a mask, nothing really has changed with us. We will rise above this and be stronger, more loving, more appreciative, and more of everything that we could have been. There will be virus no more, and we will be happy just like we are now just in a different way. This has changed us more than anything else that has ever happened to us but it is just making us different people, better people that has risen like god did for us, living life to the fullest, taking each day as it comes to us, and thanking the lord for another beautiful day of life, being with people we care about and love on this planet that was made for us called Earth. We are going to get through this and we are going to get through it together no matter, what it takes, we will beat this monster that was put before us, the only way to do it is to play it safe, and do whatever we can to stay healthy and germ free. The earth keeps turning and we will keep living and breathing the fresh air that we feel each day we wake up and realize what a good life we have it has just made some changes. We are all god's children and we are in a fight like a battle that we will win. Nothing will hold us down, whatever knocks us back from this we will get up and keep trying till we defeat it all together. Love is so important and showing it by caring for one another to help through this hardship that we are being showed to face will do nothing but make us stronger human beings. The skies will always be blue unless it decides to rain but my point is whatever we have to go through with this different life we are all the same people and will never back down from anything. No matter what life throws at us we will catch it like a ball in a glove and throw it back and not let it beat us. Life is too precious and we shouldn't waste it, we will all live once again in god's house, and this is just a test to see what we can all do. We are winning more and more everyday but sometimes we can't see it, because it is so small but the rewards we get are so clear as see through plastic, that we dont turn away. We will always love our planet and take care of it like it was our own just like with our kids, this life we are living will always be ours, and we will take care of it every time we wake up another day with oxygen in our lungs and we will beat this deadly virus and its friend, it will not take our lives away that we was given by our one and only precious and loving god.

I appreciate you writing about current events. Sadly so many of us feel the same way. But we must push on, we are survivors. Remember that. Great job on your work.
