I realised
staying indoors
is not that bad
recuperate, rejuvenate and relax
could be done as well
I do what I want
having all the time for myself
and family of course
I had it
when it was limited
but never realised
never used it well
never bothered
there was rushing and hurrying
to catch up on everything
to complete everything
the rat race
now, I have it again
no time is a lot of time …
time to be with loved ones
the hugs and care
time to reflect upon myself
the good and the bad
time to do what I like
read, yoga, bake and cook
time to explore and experience
the corners of my home
which can be beautiful than the outside world
staying indoors can be fun.
