Florence Pugh, known for her acting career, showcased an impressive additional talent during the lockdown caused by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Using her social media platform, she motivated and inspired others to engage in cooking activities.
Feeling down recently, I took a break for a few days. Yesterday, my father called and asked, "Why aren't you dancing and why aren't you cooking?" Sharing this with my followers on Instagram Story in March 2020, I decided to listen to his advice. I danced this morning, and it lifted my spirits. Now, I am going to cook.
This is a strange and uncertain time, and fear is widespread. The world is unsure of what to do or say, and that can feel unsettling. Currently separated from my family and siblings, it adds to the unease. As my father suggested, we should engage in activities that bring us joy, keep us lively, and keep us moving forward.
