Writing exercise

In some ways, I think I’m a quite lucky person.  Last year, I was laid off in Aug, and then I had 4 month off at home with a well-paid compensation, which let me enjoy my life and rethink myself. At that time, I figured that what was important to me and who I wanted to be. Finally, at the last month of last year, I got another nice job, which was not very busy and very meaningful. Meanwhile, because of the pandemic disease, I suddenly got another free time. Although everyone should stay at home, that let me doing whatever I want. Have such long free time wouldn’t make me lazy, but making me have more passion to my life. The first vacation let me know that a person’s own happy life is more important than any other things. Trying my best to be healthy and be happy is enough. Comes to the second free time, let me know, we should be nice to people who we love. Besides of the YOLO lifestyle, sometimes people have to use money to buy a survival opportunity, so learning how to manage money matters and buying an insurance is very important.

In some ways, I think I’m a quite lucky person.  Last year, I was laid off in August, and then I had 4 months off/a 4-month break at home with a well-paid compensation, which allowed me to enjoy life and reflect on my decisions/life choices. During that time, I figured out what was important to me and who I wanted to be. Finally, on the last month of last year, I started another nice job, which was not very busy and very meaningful. Meanwhile, because of the pandemic disease, I suddenly gained more free time/another holiday. Although I must stay at home, this allowed me to do whatever I wanted. Having so much free time wouldn’t make me lazy, instead, it makes me feel more passionate about my life. The first vacation made me realised that a person’s own happiness is more important /a greater priority than other things. Trying my best to be healthy and be happy is enough. During my second time off, I have come to understand that, we should be nice to the people we love. Besides leading a YOLO lifestyle, sometimes people have to use money for survival/spend money to survive, so learning how to manage money matters and buying an insurance is very important.
