So as the world comes to terms that COVID19 is the worse epidemic to hit us since the H1N1 Swine Flu, there is many people sitting wondering what the future holds for them.
I am one of these individuals but what can we do, absolutely nothing. This epidemic is out of our hands and all we can do is patiently wait it out and see what the future holds.
I personally am stuck with my partner in America because our home country (South Africa) has shit down the borders. We have been here for 5 weeks and the scary thing, is we don’t want to go home. I know we have no war on back home but people do not understand the prejudice that goes on back home. The hate crimes, the constant fear! I have personally had a gun held to my head before, at a younger age I was attacked and beaten up.
People do not understand the constant fear and the impact it has on your life. I am clinically diagnosed with depression and bipolar mood disorder, and the thought of going back has anxiety created such anxiety that I am dreading it.
I wish there was some way, that I could just stay, find my place, love life in freedom and happiness. I understand that countries have to protect themselves with strict policies for immigration but sometimes just sometimes we wish there was someone out there willing to give you a break.
We came up because we were involved in a major car accident last year; I was supposed to receive a knee operation during this trip but unfortunately due to the pandemic, that all went backwards. We have now been stuck in the US for 5 weeks, which I am not complaining about.
Well guys – remain strong – this virus is culling the human race and only the strongest will survive.
