Since COVID-19 hit our lives and we started quarantine, I’ve made a habit of scrolling through my Instagram story archives every night, thinking about how bizarre it is that I was standing close to my friends whenever I wanted, hugging them tightly, and going out every day, yet feeling bored of the “daily routine”.

What really hit me, too, is that whenever I look back in time, I literally see how I have taken some outings and some moments with my beloved ones for granted and wonder how they should have been appreciated more. Thinking of those good old days will make me appreciate every single upcoming moment.

I promise “I am bored” will never be mentioned again.
