I miss going out!!!!

By Patricia Mashiri

O.M.G I miss going out!!

I’m not that type of a lady who is into clubbing, drinking and all the night life activities included but am one person who loves her food, nature and road trips.

I swear when this lock down finally comes to an end I will be a totally changed person. I’m not going to miss any event because i have been I’m depressed. Being indoors for all these months have not been something I enjoyed at all.

All those hustles we used to do have been put on to hold because of this Covid-19 pandemic. The months we spent indoors turned out to be a complete turn-around on people’s everyday life and everyone is still trying to adjust to the new life.

Going out carrying hand sanitizers, social distancing, wearing face masks and some wearing gloves has become the new normal.

My fellow ladies no longer wear lipsticks because of the face masks.

We have seen the introduction of other communication Applications like zoom for easy communication and now everyone in Zimbabwe is talking about online meetings using zoom. These communication methods have always been there but they have become so relevant because of the lock down.

This reminds me of one time in Zimbabwe when the Internet was shut down and everyone resorted to the use of Telegram for communication.

Missing all those nature walks, all those road trips, little picnics, outdoor photo shoots and of course how could I forget spending time with my crazy girlfriends. I just miss being out there doing something.

I will always admire those days i used to visit friends just to catch up and gossip.

Spending my Saturdays watching soccer had become the new me but the Corona virus came and took everything away. Now I have been having the same routine for the past 3 months waking up, bath, eat and go back to sleep.

Have you ever wondered if things are going to be normal again? Are we ever going to have our past livelihoods back?

When the Corona virus is finally over please invite me to your events, drinks, lunch and dinner I promise I will show up because I need to make up for all this time am spending indoors with nothing to do.

I really miss going out the Lord knows how much I cherish those little moments outside.
