Unfortunately all of the historical events I can remember aren’t particularly joyful ones. The most notable one I can remember was the 911 terrorist attacks on the world trade center in 2001. There’s even a song that was written about the events that took place. I think it was called “Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?”
Other than that, I can also remember when the covid 19 pandemic started back in 2020. At the time, I was really enjoying being able to go out and doing things I loved despite this being annoying at times when buses were late picking me up ETC and having to adjust to a life at home, having to wear masks everywhere and practice social distancing, ETC. I remember this started a few months before my younger brother was to be married. I was forced to isolate for two weeks just for attending the wedding which was out of the province. I think if I had to guess, my anxiety attacks were at their worse when this was at it’s peak. I kept getting more and more angry and missing my family and holidays, (which were always celebrated despite covid,) were called into question amid outbreaks of illness where I was living ETC. It was just a horrible time for me and though everybody did their best to make it comfortable for me and my friends, (ordering us food and buying us our groceries,) ETC, there was an overall sense of sadness on my part for having to stay home all the time when I loved to be out.
Having said that, it has now been about 3 or 4 years since the covid pandemic and things have changed. In a shocking turn of events, I now feel like I go out too much, to the point where going out gets on my nerves because of the bus and having to wait for things, dealing with people, ETC. This may be because of my age and my overall health but these days, I’ve found solace in the time I get to spend at home in my solitude even away from my friends who I used to go and visit every night of the week thus making it seem like I still live there. This was before I had a presence in the online community and before my favourite thing in the world, (which is to watch movies and write reviews for them,) existed and much less was regarded as a hobby and even an unpaid job. I think if I had this presence in the online community back when covid started, it would have been good news for me rather than depressing news. These days, it seems like I have to fight just to get the time alone I want/need to be able to watch as many movies as I want to and be able to blog them. Yet everyday it seems something comes up. This is to the point where I sometimes believe that a covid lockdown would do me wonders.
However, as it was a problem at the time, this is one of the major historical events I remember. I wish I could say I remember something positive that happened in history but I don’t. Having said that, just discussing the fact that I enjoy my solitude is a lot of weight off my shoulders so I’m actually glad I answered this question.
