Namuhla, Novemba 17, kuphawula Usuku Lukazwelonke Lokuthatha Intaba, isinyathelo esivela ku-American Hiking Society ukukhuthaza abaseMelika ukuthi bashaye umzila wabo oseduze wokuhamba ngaphandle okukhulu. Kuyithuba I neze ngabe ngigubhe esikhathini esedlule. Kodwa, phakathi nezigaba zokuqala zokuvalelwa, ngathola uthando olusha lokuqwala izintaba, futhi kwakhulisa imizwa yami yokuzethemba, injabulo, kanye nokufeza okuthile ngesikhathi ngase ngilahlekelwe umuzwa wami wokukhuthazeka nenjongo. Manje, angikwazi ukucabanga impilo yami ngaphandle kokuhamba izintaba. Nansi indlela engenze ngayo i-180 ephelele.

Ngaphambi kokuvalelwa yedwa, bengiyi-quintessential yedolobha lakho. Indima yami njengoMhleli Wemfashini Omkhulu we Umumo kwakuqukethe ukugijima uzungeze iManhattan ngomsebenzi ongapheli kanye nemicimbi yomphakathi.Nginobuhlakani, ngichithe izinsuku ezimbalwa ngesonto ngijuluka ngijuluka ejimini noma estudiyo sokuzilolonga, mhlawumbe isibhakela noma iPilates. Izimpelasonto bezichithwa kuyiwa emishadweni, emicimbini yosuku lokuzalwa, nasekuzuzeni abangani ngama-brunch brunches. Ingxenye enkulu yempilo yami kwakuwukuphila kokuhamba, ngijabulela ukuduma kwedolobha futhi kwakungavamile ukuthatha izikhathi zokwehlisa ijubane futhi ngizindle.

Konke lokho kwashintsha lapho ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 luhlasela futhi nempilo yokuvalelwa yaba "yinto entsha evamile." Ukuvuka nsuku zonke efulethini lami eliminyene le-NYC kwakuzwakala kunemikhawulo, ikakhulukazi njengoba seliphenduke ihhovisi lami lasekhaya, indawo yokuzivocavoca, ukuzijabulisa, nendawo yokudlela, konke endaweni eyodwa. Ngangizwa ukukhathazeka kwami ​​kukhuphuka kancane kancane njengoba ukukhiya kudonsela phambili. Ngo-Ephreli, ngemuva kokulahlekelwa yilungu lomndeni othandekayo ku-COVID, ngashayeka phansi. Isisusa sami sokusebenza sanyamalala, ngichitha amahora angenamsebenzi ngiphenya ku-Instagram (cabanga: ukubhujiswa komkhumbi), futhi angikwazanga ukulala ubusuku obugcwele ngaphandle kokuvuka ngomjuluko obandayo. Ngangizizwa sengathi ngisenkingeni yobuchopho engapheli futhi ngazi ukuthi okuthile kufanele kushintshe. (Okuhlobene: Kanjani Futhi Kungani Ubhadane LwamaCoronavirus Ludlala Ngokulala Kwakho)

Ukuphumela Ngaphandle

Ngomzamo wokuthola umoya ohlanzekile (kanye nekhefu ebelidingeka kakhulu ekuzizweni ngifulethwe efulethini lami), ngiqale ukuhlela ukuhamba nsuku zonke ngaphandle kwezingcingo. Ekuqaleni, lolu hambo oluphoqelelwe lwemizuzu engama-30 luzwakale sengathi luthathe unomphela, kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngaqala ukuluhalela. Kungakapheli amasonto ambalwa, lezi zihambo ezisheshayo zaphenduka imigwaqo ethatha amahora amaningi ngichitha ngokungenanjongo ngizula eCentral Park - umsebenzi engangingawenzi eminyakeni edlule yize ngangihlala imizuzu eyi-10 nje kude nendawo enkulu yokulondolozwa kwemvelo. Lezi zinyathelo zinginike isikhathi sokuzindla. Ngaqala ukubona ukuthi eminyakeni eminingana edlule, ngangibheka ukuhlala "ngimatasa" njengenkomba yempumelelo. Ekugcineni ukuphoqelelwa ukwehlisa ijubane bekuyinto (futhi iyaqhubeka nokuba) yisibusiso esifihlekile. Ukunikezela isikhathi sokuphumula, ngithathe ubuhle bepaki, ngilalele imicabango yami, ngivele ngiphefumule kancane kancane kwahlanganiswa nenqubo yami futhi kwangisiza ngempela ukuhamba kulesi sikhathi esimnyama empilweni yami.

Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbili ngihamba njalo epaki, ngase ngizinze kokujwayelekile. Engqondweni, ngangizizwa ngingcono kunanini ngaphambili - ngisho nangaphambi kokuba kube khona ubhadane. Kungani ungakhuphuki i-ante? Ngafinyelela kudadewethu, owayengaphandle kakhulu kunami, futhi ngaba nenhlanhla yokuba nemoto edolobheni. Wavuma ukusishayela ngemoto siye ehlathini laseRamapo Mountain State eliseduzane eNew Jersey ukuze sihambe ngezinyawo "ngempela". Ngangingakaze ngibe ngumuntu ohamba kakhulu ezintabeni, kodwa umqondo wokukhuphula izinyathelo zami ngokuthambekela okuthe xaxa nokuthatha uhambo olusheshayo empilweni yasedolobheni wawukhanga. Sahamba-ke.

Ohambweni lwethu lokuqala, sikhethe umzila wamamayela amane onomqansa kanye nemibono ethembisayo. Siqale ngokuzethemba, sithatha izinyathelo ezisheshayo ngenkathi sixoxa. Njengoba ukuthambekela kukhuphuka kancane kancane, ukushaya kwenhliziyo yethu kwashesha futhi izithukuthuku zaqala ukuconsa emabunzini ethu. Phakathi nemizuzu engu-20, sasuka ekukhulumeni imayela ngomzuzu sagxila ekuphefumuleni kwethu nokuhlala endleleni. Uma kuqhathaniswa nokuzilibazisa kwami ​​eCentral Park, lokhu bekungukuzivocavoca okunzima.

Ngemva kwemizuzu engamashumi amane nanhlanu, sagcina sifinyelele endaweni ebukekayo, eyaba yindawo yethu ephakathi. Yize ngangikhathele, angikwazi ukuyeka ukumamatheka lapho ngibuka. Yebo, bengingakwazi ukukhuluma; yebo, ngangiconsa umjuluko; futhi yebo, ngangizwa inhliziyo yami ishaya ngamandla. Kepha bekuzwakala kukuhle ukuphonsela inselelo umzimba wami futhi futhi uzungezwe ubuhle, ikakhulukazi phakathi kwesigemegeme esinje isikhathi. Bengine-outlet entsha yokunyakaza, futhi ayizange ingeze esikhathini sami sesikrini. Ngangixhunyiwe.

Esikhathini sehlobo esisele, siqhubeke nesiko lethu lempelasonto lokweqa i-NYC ngezintaba zaseRamapo, lapho besizohamba khona phakathi kwemizila elula nefuna kakhulu. Akunandaba ukuthi kunzima kanjani emzileni wethu, sizohlala senza umzamo oqondile wokunqamula amahora ambalwa bese sivumela imizimba yethu yenze umsebenzi. Ngesinye isikhathi, umngane noma ababili babesijoyina, ekugcineni babe abaguquli abahamba izintaba (njalo belandela imihlahlandlela yokuphepha ye-COVID-19).

Lapho sishaya imizila, sasiqa inkulumo encane bese sigxumela ngqo ezingxoxweni ezijulile ngomzamo wokuqonda ukuthi ngamunye wethu unjani ngempela ukubhekana nalolu bhubhane oluqhubekayo. Ekupheleni kosuku, sasivame ukushaywa umoya kangangokuthi sasingakwazi ukukhuluma - kodwa lokho kwakungenandaba. Ukusondelana ngemva kwezinyanga zokuhlukaniswa nokuphokophela ukuqeda uhambo kwajulisa ubungane bethu. Ngazizwa ngixhumene kakhulu nodadewethu (kanye nanoma ibaphi abangani abasijoyina) kunami ngeminyaka. Futhi ebusuku, ngangilala kahle ngokwedlulele kunangesikhathi eside, ngizizwa ngibonga ngendlu yami ethokomele nempilo.
