Few months ago, we couldn’t have even imagined that something like this would happen to us. That people would be dying every day.<\/p>\n

Que se cerrar\u00edan las escuelas. Que se prohibieran las reuniones religiosas.<\/p>\n

Many changes have hit us. It\u2019s happened so fast, it\u2019s overwhelmed us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

La gente se autoa\u00edsla. El distanciamiento social se ha convertido en nuestro modo de vida.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"mujer<\/p>\n

Voltaire dijo una vez que todo mal engendra algo bueno y este autoaislamiento me ha tra\u00eddo algo bueno de verdad.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve realized all those things I took for granted over the past years.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made a promise to myself that I’ll change that and that these things will be more important for me from now on. I won’t take any of these for granted ever again.<\/p>\n

1. Abrazar a la gente que quiero<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nI\u2019ve never been one of those people who liked to hug and kiss people they love all the time. I didn’t like to show my appreciation for someone that way.<\/p>\n

However, this social distancing has changed that. I couldn’t bear the thought that something bad had to happen to the people I love.<\/p>\n

And I am afraid that I haven\u2019t shown them how much I love them and care for them.<\/p>\n

This will change after these difficult times. I’ll hug all people I love so tight that they’ll realize immediately just how much I missed them and love them.<\/p>\n

2. Salud<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nWe don’t appreciate enough the times we are healthy, that\u2019s a fact. When we don’t have any health issues, we don’t think about the fact that our health condition can change in an instant.<\/p>\n

It really can. I realize it now, and I hope we all do. I\u2019ve been postponing my annual check ups whenever I could.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t had time for it. I\u2019ve been feeling fine and thinking that I didn’t even need it.<\/p>\n

\"mujer<\/p>\n

We should always have time for it, because we will regret it if we ever lose it. I\u2019ve promised myself that, from now on, I will always make time for those checkups.<\/p>\n

I will appreciate my health more and I’ll thank God every day for taking care of me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I won’t take my health for granted ever again because it is the most precious and valuable possession I have.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Mi relaci\u00f3n con Dios<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nCuando ocurri\u00f3 todo esto, empec\u00e9 a rezar a Dios todos los d\u00edas. Le ped\u00ed que nos protegiera y nos ayudara en estos momentos dif\u00edciles.<\/p>\n

Le ped\u00ed que me protegiera a m\u00ed y a las personas cercanas a m\u00ed de este horrible virus.<\/p>\n

Empec\u00e9 a rezar todas las noches antes de acostarme. Una noche, me di cuenta de lo hip\u00f3crita que estaba siendo.<\/p>\n

\"mujer<\/p>\n

I was praying only in these tough times, where before this situation, I didn’t have time even to pray and thank God for everything He\u2019s given us.<\/p>\n

Voy a cambiar eso. Cada ma\u00f1ana, I’ll thank God<\/span><\/a> por proteger a la gente que quiero y darme otro d\u00eda de vida.<\/p>\n

Every night before I go to sleep, I’ll ask Him to give us enough strength to cope with whatever challenges lie ahead.<\/p>\n

4. Tiempo para m\u00ed<\/h2>\n

\"mujer<\/p>\n

Tener algo de el tiempo a solas es importante<\/span><\/a> for every person. During this social distancing period, we\u2019ve had quite a bit of time to do just that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve finally learned to enjoy it. I\u2019ve realized how relaxing it is and how it can recarga tus pilas<\/a>. To be clear, I haven\u2019t been lonely, I\u2019ve just found time for myself.<\/p>\n

\"hermosa<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve thought about my life and some of the big decisions I made. I\u2019ve thought about the people in my life and how much they mean to me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve promised to myself that I’ll never again take for granted that \u201cme time.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Mi familia<\/h2>\n

\"padres
\nSometimes after work, I\u2019d be really tired and often miss some or other family gathering because of it.<\/p>\n

On weekends I\u2019d have other obligations, so most times I\u2019d end up not visiting my parents and grandparents.<\/p>\n

Ahora los echo de menos m\u00e1s que a nada y me doy cuenta de que la familia es realmente la parte m\u00e1s importante de mi vida.<\/p>\n

\"familia<\/p>\n

Now because of coronavirus social distancing orders, I can’t visit them, even though I would like to see them more than anything.<\/p>\n

I’ll never again neglect them, but try to visit them as much as I can. Another promise I\u2019ve made to myself.<\/p>\n

6. Salir con mis amigos<\/h2>\n

\"amigos<\/p>\n

The same case. Sometimes I\u2019d be tired and not feel like going out with my friends.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de un mes en cuarentena y sin ver a ninguno de ellos, veo que debo salir con ellos siempre que me inviten.<\/p>\n

La vida es realmente impredecible. Nunca sabemos lo que nos puede pasar ma\u00f1ana.<\/p>\n

\"dos<\/p>\n

That’s why we should use every minute to tell all the people close to us how important they are to us.<\/p>\n

Dear friends, just so you know, you are my other family and I can’t wait for this all to pass and to hang out with you all.<\/p>\n

Nunca m\u00e1s volver\u00e9 a dar por sentada nuestra amistad.<\/p>\n

7. Charlas con mis vecinos<\/h2>\n

\"mujeres<\/p>\n

I have to admit, sometimes I would avoid my neighbors just so I\u2019d not have to talk with them.<\/p>\n

Now I miss those little chit-chats because every time I go outside, I don\u2019t see a soul.<\/p>\n

It’s rather scary. I remember our streets full of kids playing outside; now everything is empty. Even when I see some of the neighbors, we can’t talk.<\/p>\n

\"mujeres<\/p>\n

They just wave and I wave back. It\u2019s the only communication we have now.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always had a decent relationship with all of my neighbors, but I’ll never take them and our chit-chats for granted anymore.<\/p>\n

Ahora que los echo de menos, me doy cuenta de que esas charlas eran una parte importante de mi d\u00eda y que los vecinos tambi\u00e9n forman parte de mi vida.<\/p>\n

8. Mi trabajo<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nI know that we all hate going to work sometimes. I do, too. Sometimes I\u2019d even be late because I\u2019d hate it.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t be afraid of what my boss may say because I\u2019d think that I’d find a new job easily.<\/p>\n

Ver cu\u00e1nta gente est\u00e1 siendo despedida por culpa del covid-19 me ha hecho pens\u00e1rmelo dos veces.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s made me realize that I shouldn’t take my job for granted because many people would like to be in my place and work to earn some money for their families.<\/p>\n

9. Caminar o correr al aire libre<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nSometimes, I go hiking in the mountains because I know it’s safe there and I won\u2019t run into people there. It’s relaxing for me because I love spending time in nature.<\/p>\n

But what I really miss is those walks with my friends in the park. I miss starting my mornings with a run. I hope this will be over soon and I’ll be able to get back in form.<\/p>\n

10. Noches de cita<\/h2>\n

\"pareja
\nUn tiempo antes de que todo esto sucediera, le contaba a mi SO que estaba harta de nuestras citas en restaurantes y que ser\u00eda mejor que yo cocinara algo para poder tener una cita en casa.<\/p>\n

Well, this pandemic has made me eat my words \u2013 God knows how I miss our favorite restaurant and food there!<\/p>\n

Hell, I even miss drinking decent espresso-based coffee. I’m not so great a chef and I swear I’ll never take our date nights out for granted again.<\/p>\n

11. 11. Fiestas de cumplea\u00f1os<\/h2>\n

\"amigos
\nI\u2019ve never cared for having a birthday party and never threw any. My friends know that and they\u2019d organize a surprise birthday party for me every year.<\/p>\n

Mi cumplea\u00f1os es en abril y este cumplea\u00f1os ha sido el m\u00e1s triste para m\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Aunque recib\u00ed montones de mensajes de mi familia, amigos y compa\u00f1eros de trabajo, me sent\u00ed poco querida porque esta vez estaba sola.<\/p>\n

\"sorpresa<\/p>\n

Once again, it\u2019s shown me how thankful I should be for my friends because they\u2019ve made me happy all these years on my birthday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve realized that deep down I do care for having a birthday party and cake, and  <\/span>recibir regalos<\/span><\/a> de mis seres queridos.<\/p>\n

I have to say that I sympathize with all people born in April. Don’t be sad for not celebrating your birthday the way you wanted this year.<\/p>\n

I know that next year, it’s all going to be much better.<\/p>\n

12. Compras<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nI am so sick of online shopping. I can’t wait to go to the mall. I can’t even wait to go to the grocery store the way I used to, without avoiding people there or wearing a mask and gloves all the time.<\/p>\n

I’ll never complain again about all those long lines in grocery stores or how people go crazy during Black Friday or some other big sale.<\/p>\n

13. Viajar<\/h2>\n

\"hermosa<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always thought that I should only focus on my career, that I’d have time for all other things later.<\/p>\n

That’s why I haven\u2019t traveled a lot, even though I like it so much.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve already planned my next vacation trip, when this is all over. I can’t wait to hop on a plane.<\/p>\n

\"mujer<\/p>\n

I won’t even complain about those uncomfortable seats or bad service.<\/p>\n

Descubrir nuevos lugares, tradiciones y culturas. Conocer gente nueva y aprender sus costumbres.<\/p>\n

This is something priceless and I’ll never take it for granted again, and neither should you.<\/p>\n

14. Lectura de libros<\/h2>\n

\"mujer
\nSince college, I never used my free time to read books \u2013 I didn’t have much free time and I always had something “more important” to do than read.<\/p>\n

Now that my schedule is wide open, I\u2019ve started reading again.<\/p>\n

Me ha recordado lo bien que puede hacerte sentir la lectura de libros y que puede ser nuestra v\u00eda de escape de la dura realidad.<\/p>\n

15. Ir al cine<\/h2>\n

\"mujeres
\nYes, I have a TV at home and I watch movies. But, you have to admit, it’s not the same feeling when you watch it at home alone and when you watch it at the movies with your friends.<\/p>\n

I hope this will be over by September, because there are some great premieres then and I really miss watching those with my friends. Well, mostly I miss the popcorn, but still\u2026<\/p>\n

16. Libertad<\/h2>\n

\"hermosa
\nI didn’t know how lucky I was for having the freedom to go anywhere I want.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been truly blessed because I\u2019ve been able to travel, eat out and go to concerts whenever I want.<\/p>\n

I didn’t appreciate it, but lockdown has made me realize that my libertad para hacer cosas<\/a> when and how I want is definitely something I’ll never take for granted again.<\/p>\n

\"morena<\/p>\n

Creo que de alguna manera esto es una lecci\u00f3n para todos nosotros. Para apreciar m\u00e1s la vida. Para demostrar a nuestros seres queridos cu\u00e1nto los amamos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuidar mejor a las personas mayores. Agradecer a Dios todo lo que tenemos. No volver a dar nada por sentado en la vida.<\/strong><\/p>\n
