506 days
12,144 hours
728,640 minutes
That's how much time has passed since day 1 of our first Lockdown in Malaysia.

Being a prisoner of time and space in a confined space with 4 walls. Can you hear the ticking of the clock? Or is that in your mind? Are we losing our minds? Can you tell is real anymore? How can one be sane being stuck confined between 4 walls with time eluding us?
What time is it?
When is dinner ready?
Has it been 5 hours already?!
What day is it?
I can't remember the last time I've seen or heard from anyone.
I forgot the sound of your voice, your touch, the warmth of a hug.
Have I smiled today? I can't remember.
Time is a fickle concept. It can take you years to heal, days to grow, hours to assemble. But it can also take you a day to crumble, a minute to destroy, and a second to vaporise.

The rate of suicides and depressions has exponentially increased during these insane times. It is troubling to see that so many would choose death over life. Imagine the lives that could've been saved with a simple phone call? A text? A meal delivered to their door?
We're all going through our personal battles and we're all at different stages of those battle. Some may be winning those battles and some are struggling. Be kind to everyone because you'll never know if the next words that come out of your mouth would be their saving grace or their next step 6 feet under.
Call up your friend. Facetime a family member. Send food to a colleague.
Not all superheroes wear capes.
