Hello everyone! How are you ? It's 2:55 am , June 8th 2020 by the time i'm writing this post. So what have you been up to ? Turkey has already started its first New Normal Stage this June. Ups! I don't even tell you what has happened. Okay, long Story short, we know there was novel corona virus spreading in Wuhan, China during last winter (January-February). Never thought it would be this big. Our live in Turkey was quite normal until its first case in Turkey was confirmed by the beginning of March. And one day after confirmed case, the government decided to dismiss all school activity for at least 3 weeks. All Turkish student who live in dorm should back to their parents house meanwhile foreign students were gathered in one dorm and restricted to go outside. Thought it will only last 3 weeks, In fact it was extended to be more than 2 months. We were all home schooled, not allowed to go outside during weekend, 20 years old below students were told to stay at home otherwise they can be detained. Yes... that's what we've been through during this Novel Corona virus Pandemic. It was fine in the first 2 weeks that made me realize i actually like working from home; Wifi, comfortable bedroom, My cats, Coffee Latte, Laptop, Ipad are all i need. and In fact i could cut many expenses and time consuming relaxed me a little bit. However, I could never be relax during this #stayathome because I was overwhelmed with all news which often was bad news from both country; Indonesia & Turkey. Honestly, i feel safer to stay in Turkey rather than go back but i worried about my family in Indonesia. Besides that, I couldn't earn money as i used to by doing Pre Order Jastip Turkey-Indonesia, becoming Tour leader or part timing with Bu Lisa. So i had a little bit financial problems. However, I'm so lucky to have supporting friends and family who help me through this hard times. 2 months staying at home, my days were filled with Zoom Meeting; Seminar, Classes, Online Discussion etc. One thing i like the most from #stayathome is we don't need to go to school during Ramadhan. That's one of the blessing out of this tragic moment. And also, since going outside was limited, going to supermarket to shop for groceries was becoming an entertainment activity. Since cafe, restaurant, malls even mosque and parks were closed, that left us with no other option but market nearby as our escape from #stayathome routine. Time flies as it's now June already. We passed half of 2020 as fast as eyes blinking. to look back is one thing i'm scared. I'm scared that i can't be proud about what i've been doing this all time. I'm afraid to realize if i didn't do enough and live my life like a failure. Do you experience the same things like me ? And also, I really have bad PMS. Not only physically but mentally. Within a week before i had my period, i had extreme panic attack as i was crying sobbing out of anxiety. Suddenly something trigger me remembering bad memories i have. I called D and i'm glad I could calm myself that time. And now, Alhamdulillah everything seems to be improving. I see many people are wearing masks now. Even though we are allowed to go outside , but i don't see that much crowd. As a record i haven't been to Kızılay for this past 3 months. I may go there within this week for making content; Turkey New Normal for my youtube channel hehe. Let's see... hopefully there won't be overcrowded. Last but not least, i wish i keep pulling myself together to be better day by day. XOXO, Wita Koto Some documentation of our trip to Ankara Kalesi with Çekek.Id ; Photo/Videography Community.
