Wole's Story "Freedom After Lockdown"
Description
Digital Story from the Bawso Stories Project. In this story, Wole remembers how it felt to go out as the lockdowns in Wales were lifting. English transcript: During the lockdown, I would kind of say it was my happy moment because during the lockdown, that was when I know I have people that care for me a lot. I was being introduced to a friend, she is wonderful. I was really depressed during that period because my son always wants to go out and all those things. Despite the restrictions and everything she would make sure that once in a while she will pop down to check on us, and she took us out nice places I’ve not been to. I can’t, I don't know the word to use for it, it's just it was an awesome period for me that moment. She took us to, that was the first time I went to this beach, it was nice there so she took us around there and it was just the experience that was totally different. I felt a lot of things being lifted off my shoulders. The way the way the water was moving, it’s something because that one, the water was really beautiful, it was really, really beautiful, it was so clear and it was a nice environment, it was really clear that. I was wondering maybe it’s because nobody has come out and swim in the water for long time. So the cool breeze, the salty water, I felt the kind of sensation that, so I feel calm. It was like a really cool moment for me that I feel peace. She took my son to, there’s this playground, she took them to that. I didn't go in and see what they were doing there because they have limits of people so it was only allowed with one adult to go in there so she goes in there, but when they were coming out the expressions on their faces was really amazing because they've been indoor, indoor for months and months, so for them to go out for the first time after few months was like a really, really, really wonderful thing.
