CHAPTER 7 My Thoughts, My Experiences: Melbourne Lockdown

Where could l possibly start?

At a standstill and with so much time on my hands, l needed a purpose. Thankfully, my writing gave me a reason to focus on a personal dream of writing a book, something that had been on my mind, and on my bucket list of things to do!

Having an opportunity to write down my thoughts and feelings allowed me to process what was happening to me, and to others. I was overwhelmed with so many different emotions, not all pleasant, and at times l literally couldn’t be fu**ed with anyone, or anything!

Some days l felt empty!

As time went on l didn’t know who l could trust or believe in, and it played on my mind, a lot! People were treating one another differently, and this was evident!

In 2020-2021, there have been many sufferings all over the world.

It was always going to turn out to be an economic warfare.

l felt it in my gut from day dot, and my gut instincts never let me down!

Look at where we are today, 28th February 2022. Yes, lucky enough to be so far away from an overseas war zone, sure, but there are still so many battling their own personal wars! Mental Health issues, emotional stress, financial disparity and on and on it goes…

In Victoria, particularly Melbourne, it felt like we were being punished. We had been locked away for too long!!!

Our Australian Government were not working as a team! On the contrary! It was as though every state was running their own show.

It made me wonder why the fu** do we have a Prime Minister if everyone was allowed to do whatever the fu** they wanted!
