Freedom for her means only one thing – not being told what and how and when to do whatever she did.
The acts she is reprimanded for, are not worth a thought to the saner people in the world. Like where and how should the dish-washing brush be placed, how much water should be used to mop the floor, groceries to be ordered for a kitchen she was running.
She happens to be managing domestic chores in the corona phase in absence of domestic help, and controlling behaviour makes it feel like mental abuse.
Her favourite pastime is to imagine a life living alone. And then, she thinks
“Will the dreaded sounds of interference stop, or will the demons continue to haunt her?”
Really relateble I just started my own travel blog and then covid hit and I could not travel anymore from my country. No travel planning for me at all 😦

Everyone should be free to be and do as they see fit without needless reprimand. The hardest is often to silence the inner demons.

Very well written Reena. Control is irritating but in presence of covid, they are doubly maddening.

I apologise Reena. I used my dictation software, as I am blind, but just realised it did not type your name right. Humblest apologies

No issue. It passed unnoticed. I have a Spotify podcast for fiction pieces now, which you might find useful.
