Time and how it is spent. This past year I have realized the value of time, it is worth far more than any dollar amount. Due to Covid-19, I had to move in with my parents for five and a half months while my roommate was working the Covid Response Unit. Over the last five years, I have been working three jobs while putting myself through university. In doing so, I had no time to spend with my family, I saw them maybe once a month. After moving back in with them, I suddenly had a surplus of time to spend with them. I was working remotely, having gone from full independence to back in my childhood home. For me, this felt like I was taking five steps backward, it felt as if my personal space, freedom, and independent value were gone. It took some time of realizations, of how lucky I was to have somewhere to stay during this time, but also how I now had all the time to spend with my family that I had been missing for the last few years. This truly was an eye-opener, no matter how much I worked or continued my career, there are things far more important than furthering success. This lesson continued as my partner had to return to Australia in February of 2020. We spent 19 months apart wondering if we would ever see each other again. This year and a half have been the most difficult of my life. Being with the people you love is truly a blessing, a lesson I will never forget. At this moment in time, I will never take a second for granted again. Hold on to those you love a little tighter and appreciate the moments you have with them.
