Fall seven times, stand up eight.
-Japanese Proverb
It has been a long, rough year for our world. A bat, (or some similar animal) carried a virus to human beings that spread from China to our country and completely changed our way of living. But, like going through a breakup, when we encounter great hardship we find great value.
We once thought many classes that were in-person had to be in person, but we found that they can easily be converted online. We once thought some stores had to be open 24/7. This is also not true. We also thought that if you didn’t leave your house for weeks at a time, you would automatically turn into a hermit and die. This was also found not to be true. We found out that much of our way of life was unnecessary or just downright wastful and time-consuming.
Speaking of being a hermit, I have been quite the hermit myself in the real world and on the internet as well for the past year. I have taken a long hiatus from the internet in general and the blog and have done some soul-searching even though I have not been broken up with. I haven’t dated anyone in over a year.
I have rode my bike, meditated to the point where I reached unknown parts of my mind, done yoga, and played with my puppy until she bit my hands raw. I took long walks at night, trying to figure out the meaning of life, what my existence means, and what my place is in this vast, mysterious universe that is in the middle of a unprecedented pandemic.
I would maintain a routine, and go to bed at around the same time every night, and try to get up around the same time everyday. I made sure to do things that I knew brought value to my life everyday and that made me happy, which mainly included meditating, riding my bike, and playing with my puppy until she bit my hands raw.
It may sound weird, but I found a new kind of peace during this quarantine of being alone. I was able to be alone with my thoughts and focus on myself into developing to become a better man, which is paramount to getting over a breakup. But this time it was not a breakup with any girl I have ever dated, but possibly a breakup with the complications of society as a whole. I can almost say that the pandemic was positive for me in that aspect, and when this is all over and the vaccines start becoming more readily available, I may even miss it.
We will probably never go back to being the “same,” but just like the world changed from the pandemic and learned many lessons, so have I. I have learned the importance of “keep it simple stupid” and maintaining a routine. I have learned the importance of not over complicating simple, daily tasks of life so that life is easier to live, and so that I can focus on the stuff that really matters. I have learned how importance meditation is, and the effects it can have on your mind and body, and how that can carry over into your day. It is my hope that I can take everything I’ve learned from 2020 and give that to you, so that you can get over your breakup and become a better man.
