I am a regular writer. I write for fun, for my sanity and for my love of expression, penning down a story a day and sometimes even more but lately things have been different.

Today I begin to put down my thoughts after a gap of one whole month. Where have I been? What has kept me away? My thoughts wander as I start counting my distractions, but I have always had some diversions the only difference is, it was never so difficult to put them aside.

2020 has been the year of uncertainty, fear, and withdrawal. It has made me think and feel for all those who are less fortunate. I have learnt to live on less and to pray for the most important things in my life for health and family, for love and laughter.

I have been away because this shadow took over me, bit by bit the ambiguity got to me. I lost track of time and the current of everyday ordeals left me undermined.

Below I discuss some key factors that affected my health and wellbeing over the past few months. Piercing their way into our lives slowly and steadily. I'm sure many of you have felt the same at some point this year.
