Covid 19: A Period of Uncertainty & Isolation - March 2020 - July 2020

It's one thing hearing about critical times and another having to live it. We have all heard stories about periods or countries having experienced numerous discomfort or danger. Though Diana never thought in her wildest dreams, it would become her reality too - especially in an advanced country such as the UK, London.

Freedom and free will, something we value dearly and don't usually give much thought to as it is automatically given what with being in advanced countries, had become quite limited due to a hazardous virus called COVID 19. A virus that has possibly originated from China and caused too much disturbance around the globe.

Towards the end of March 2020 was when Diana's lifestyle began to change drastically due to covid restrictions - the daily activities she would do and the freedom she had was no longer accessible.  Due to the new rules put in place by the government and family concerns, Diana had to stay indoors more than usual - not go out to the gym, meet up with friends/family members or go to work. It was a disaster for her and, she found it extremely difficult. 

Social distance, stay-at-home directives, self-quarantine, or self ...

For one month, Diana barely stepped out of the house.  An absolute nightmare as she loves nature and the open air. Initially, Diana took the change of circumstances tough to bear as she had finally figured her life out and was looking forward to many things, but then suddenly everything had to stop.

Nonetheless, after carefully monitoring the situation and acknowledging how to keep safe outdoors, Diana eventually decided it was time to start stepping outside and going for strolls. So, at the start of May, she took such a step, and it was amazing! However, this became a more regular occurrence towards the end of the month. But when the restrictions were in place and, the lockdown phase began, it truly took a toll on her and, I'm sure Diana was not alone.

Unfortunately, it's an ambiguous situation with the government & rules constantly changing. To many's dismay, it's been the highlight of 2020!

The Misinterpreted Image of a Larger than Life Legend

Image
I've made discoveries & researched on a variety of matters, particularly on people for some time now. To be precise, it began in 2009 with Micheal Jackson.  I get intrigued or fascinated about someone or something then I start investigating or researching in great depth. Anyhow, no one has up until now fascinated or surprised me more than a well-known and highly admired rapper aka actor.  Unfortunately, he is no longer with us, yet he is still very much relevant and current even to this day! Before now, I would often hear his name and a bit about him. I guess the basic stuff, him being a well-established rapper, dearly loved, his iconic styles and conspiracy theories on him 'faking' his death (something that has spun about for ages). So as mentioned I only knew, the basics about this legend - nothing more, nothing less. However, recently, I decided to know more about this highly controversial yet gifted human being. I've always sensed there was something m...

Dear Diary... 🕮📚✎🖉

Image
At some point in our lives, we all have kept a diary - penning our deepest thoughts and secrets. A move that aids many to pour out their hearts and feel like they can turn to something to relive the sorrow or tension they may encounter. As a matter of fact, certain diary entries have even become part of history, including the infamous Diary of Anne Frank - a girl from Germany, informing the world of her trials & tribulations during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. These written entries - a collection of people's thoughts could be enlightening, amusing and fun to know or read. Hence Diana like several others has penned her most impactful and memorable moments throughout the years, wanting to inspire, encourage, motivate or enlighten the world, especially those classified as being 'unique'. Thus, without further ado 'UniqueJournalist' presents a selective few:           Dear Diary,       ...

A Young Student got Viciously Attacked...then Stabbed to Death!!!

Image
A Young Student got Viciously Attacked...then Stabbed to Death!!! On Friday morning, a teenager got mugged, near Wembley Park. His name was Yousuf, and he was 16 years old. He was walking to school while being fully occupied with his phone and all of a sudden, a strange-looking guy appeared out of nowhere, from behind. The stranger was dressed in a hoodie, blue - ripped up jeans and white trainers. He was demanding Yousuf's phone and wallet.  Yousuf froze out of fear. He was shocked and terrified - not knowing what to do. Out of fear, the 16-year-old reluctantly passed over his phone and wallet then attempted to escape the unknown stranger but unfortunately got stabbed by the violently, leaving him to bleed. Yousuf was known as a confident, friendly individual with an outgoing characteristic. The lad was studious, but he also enjoyed socialising with pals and having fun. At a tender age, he had a great interest in becoming a future successful business perso...

The Taliban Government in a New Era But the Same Old Mindset!

Image
'Taliban' - whenever this particular term is mentioned, bitter memories are evoked for many, recalling the 1996 - 2001 regime in Afghanistan. Those who have lived through that period believe it to be a dark phase in their life, where there was no sense of freedom, peace of mind & happiness, especially concerning the women. Fast forward to 20 years later, and things seem to have only gotten worse for them.  After the sudden and unexpected collapse of the presidential government led by Ashraf Ghani, the former president of the country, the Taliban once again came into power, and everyone from around the world watched in disbelief and shock, including me.  Despite being brought up in the west, I still feel strongly connected to Afghanistan, so the drastic change of events troubled me. I decided to keep an open mind and see if the Taliban had improved or had become less difficult. Certain individuals also had a similar mindset too.  Initially, it was hard to predict how t...

Goodbye 2020 ~ A Bizarre, Ambigous & Saddening Year!

Image
At the beginning of 2020, I was optimistic for it to be a happy, exciting and productive year. Instead, it began with slight sadness & tension but nothing too significant or life-changing. Yet again, it may have been a warning to what was to come & have a life-changing impact on everyone around the world. The first few months went exceptionally well for me - from January until mid-March: got a job at an office environment - journalism-related and attended numerous outings. 😁💪 But from then on life, started to take a turn for the worst & went downhill. It was an unexpected turn of events - very baffling for many, including myself. All this was due to a horrible & life-threatening virus knowns as Corona or Covid - 19.   Suddenly restrictions came in place in the UK and, everyone was anxious and concerned at the sudden & worrying situation. I was very annoyed that I could not do the things I would do daily, including going to the gym - an activity I'm very much f...
