Tsiku la Chaka Chatsopano lapitali linali lodzaza ndi chiyembekezo chosangalatsa cha chaka chosangalatsa chomwe chikubwera. Ine ndi bwenzi langa tinakondwerera limodzi ndi mchimwene wanga ndi anzanga angapo ku New York, kumene tonse tinachokera. Tidawonera mpira ukugwa pa TV ndikugwedeza magalasi a champagne kwinaku tikuyesera kuwona magalasi athu a 2020 otalikirana, tikusangalala ndi ukwati wathu wa Ogasiti womwe ukubwera ndi zochitika zonse zosangalatsa zomwe zingachitike. Ife, monga aliyense padziko lonse lapansi, tinalibe njira yodziwira zomwe zidzachitike chaka chino.
Sitinadziwe kuti zinthu zitsekeka kapena masks posachedwapa adzakhala ponseponse ngati mafoni a m'manja. Ife, monga wina aliyense, tinali ndi mapulani ochuluka a 2020, ndipo pamene tinkayamba kugwira ntchito kunyumba, kukondwerera maholide osiyanasiyana ndi masiku obadwa kupyolera mu Zoom, ndikupeza njira zatsopano zosangalalira popanda kutuluka, tinkaganizabe kuti zinthu zikhala bwino ndi chilimwe, ndipo moyo ukanabwerera mwakale. Koma pamene chaka chinali kupita ndipo zinthu zinkaipiraipirabe, tinazindikira kuti moyo wabwinobwino udzawoneka wosiyana kwambiri, mwinamwake kwa kanthaŵi kapena mwinamwake kwachikhalire.
Mliri utakula ndipo Ogasiti akuyandikira, tidakumana ndi chisankho chovuta kwambiri: kuchedwetsa ukwati wathu kapena kuyesa kupanga ukwati wawung'ono patsiku lathu loyambirira, kenako ndikuchita phwando lalikulu chaka chamawa. Kuti tikhale otetezeka, tinaganiza zongoikiratu chaka chamawa. Ngakhale malamulo a COVID-19 atilola kuti tichite chikondwerero chaching'ono, tingafunse bwanji anthu kuti aike moyo wawo pachiswe komanso miyoyo ya ena kuti abwere kudzasangalala nafe? Kodi tingapemphe bwanji ogulitsa athu kuti achite zomwezo? Ngakhale titakhala ndi anthu 10 okha omwe amakondwerera nafe, tinkaonabe kuti chiopsezo chinali chachikulu. Ngati wina anadwala, kudwala ena, kapena kufa kumene, sitikanatha kukhala tokha podziŵa kuti mwina ndife amene tinayambitsa.
Tikudziwa kuti tinapanga chisankho choyenera, ndipo tili ndi mwayi kuti zinthu sizinalipobe kwa ife, koma 2020 ikadali chaka chovuta, monga ndikutsimikiza kwa anthu ambiri. Kumayambiriro kwa chaka, kalendala yathu inali yodzaza ndi zochitika zosangalatsa: makonsati, maulendo ochokera kwa achibale ndi mabwenzi, maulendo obwerera ku New York, ukwati wathu ndi zochitika zonse zosangalatsa za ukwati usanayambe zimene anayenera kubwera nazo, ndi zambiri. Zambiri. M'modzi ndi m'modzi, zonse zidapitilira kuimitsidwa ndikuchotsedwa, ndipo chaka chikupita ndipo ndikupitilizabe kuzindikira, "tikadakhala kunyumba kwa agogo anga sabata ino," kapena "tikadakwatirana lero." Kwakhala kusinthasintha kwamalingaliro, komwe kwakhala kovutirapo pa thanzi langa. Ndimachoka pakumva chisoni komanso kukwiya chifukwa choti zolinga zanga zasinthidwa kukhala wolakwa poganiza mwanjira imeneyi, ndi kuzungulira ndi kuzungulira mpaka nditapeza njira yochotsera malingaliro anga pa chilichonse.
Ndikudziwa kuti sindine ndekha amene ndakhala ndikukondwera ndi mapulani komanso kuletsedwa kwawo, koma zinthu zomwe zimapangitsa kuti kuchepa kuzitha kutheka nthawi zonse kumakhala kosiyana malinga ndi momwe ndikumvera. Nthawi zina ndimayenera kuyeretsa nyumba yanga ndikuyimba nyimbo, nthawi zina ndimayenera kupuma ndi bukhu kapena pulogalamu ya pa TV, ndipo nthawi zina ndimayenera kudzilola kuti ndizitha kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi aatali. Kudzipatula pazama TV kungathandizenso kwambiri, ndipo nthawi zina kudzipatula ndekha ndi foni yanga ndizomwe ndimafunikira. Kapena nthawi zina kungodzilola kuti ndimve chilichonse chomwe ndikufuna, popanda kudziimba mlandu, kumathandiza kwambiri kuposa kudzisokoneza.
2020 sichinakhale chaka chodabwitsa chomwe chimayenera kukhala, koma ndikuyembekeza kuti chaka chamawa zikhala bwino. Ngati tonse titha kupitiliza kudziteteza komanso kudziteteza ndi ena povala masks, kusamba m'manja, komanso kucheza ndi anthu, mwina zikhala choncho.
