Covid-19 has got to the nerves of everyone, someway or the other. However, there is one thing that has helped me maintain my sanity is endurance sports, like long runs and long bike rides.

DeleteI really like both! Really meaningful.. Why can't forget? I always forgot what makes me upset.. :) I'll start argument with hubby and when he asked why am I angry, I can't remember why but I know I'm upset with him.. so no other choice but to drop the matter :( but it's good in a way :) hehe..
ReplyDeletethere are some people with whom we actually fight to forget...its really a special bond we've with them that makes us forget everything...but that's not true with everyone... :(
