Agreed! It was during those long solitary hours of working from home that I realised that I can write stories - something that I had always wanted to do. I'd written several articles before that but never knew how stories would fare. When I had the courage to release them into the digital world, I learnt that I write really well. My new-found passion helped me make new friends from across the world.

Had it not been for this creative side, my mind probably wouldn't have survived the pandemic.

I always encourage art and all kinds of creative channels that one is comfortble with. These are the things that set one free.
