What 'new normal'?

COMMENT | This Covid-19 pandemic has brought many realisations for many of us.

We feel empowered knowing that we are capable of so much more than what we give ourselves credit for. We feel empowered to realise that we don’t need a lot of things in life to be happy.

Work-related calls and video conferences are now a bit more personal, everyone’s interested to know how others are coping within their private spaces. Old friends and relatives whom we haven’t heard from in a long time are suddenly getting in touch.
