In this Pandemic, we got to Adapt, Adjust or Accept
Yes we've spent days and nights with our families and loved ones throughout our lives but who can brag that they spent 24x7 literally together for almost six months now? Yes, in the past, we went for family escapades and holidays but not for straight five to six months [unless you are one of the rare back-packers whose itinerary easily covers many months as long as this current pandemic is prevailing.
Admit it or not, even within your immediate family, you discovered some attributes, behavior or traits even with your partner/spouse, which prior to this pandemic you were totally unaware of. The nitpicker. The lazy-dog. The passive. The lameduck. The drained one. The detached one. Surely, some of us may realize that some of these adjectives can be aptly tagged to someone from your immediate family.
Like it or not, we gotta realize that we gotta ADAPT even to our immediate families, to our partner/spouse. Even the Siamese Twins are not identical at all. And when you are unable to ADAPT, you gotta ADJUST. That means tweaking yourself and your interaction even within your family. And if still things become like a tough nut to crack, you gotta ACCEPT things as they are. Poor you, you gotta ACCEPT things no matter how imperfect they are if you do struggle in either adapting or adjusting to this pandemic bubble we are all in now.
This is the cycle of life. We just can't run away from this vicious cycle because such is life. People need to co-exist and that co-existence can indeed pose a challenge even within your very own family. And that becomes your acid test in life. Overcoming that hump.
