Some people say that time is fluid, that it is ever moving; there is no stopping time. These may be true, until a pandemic such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) brought everyone into a sudden halt. A momentary freezing of time seemed to have been expected, if not necessary. Since the outbreak, cases continue to mount daily. As of this writing, there’s been over 5 million recorded cases with the USA leading the list. The world seemed to have stopped moving.
People stayed at home to stay safe. Children and parents alike had to stick it out until the crisis subsided. Soon enough, time started to take its course again, but with such a pace none of us could’ve predicted. It caused some people to feel unproductive, useless. They were bored in the house. Tick, tock, tick tock, TikTok, TikTok.
TikTok! At a time when people had some luxury of it, an app aptly named (un)expectedly became a sensation. Social media platforms have since helped a lot of individuals cope with the dire situation outside every household. While Facebook kept people up to date with their family and friends, Twitter and Instagram with their celebrity idols, TikTok gave them the avenue to engage more than the former apps. Soon enough, people spent their time creating - choreographies, challenges, art pieces, acts, cuisines, and more! It turns out everybody’s got time.
