KC Concepcion compares ECQ to her student life in Europe

By Maine Aquino

For KC Concepcion, the life in enhanced community quarantine or ECQ is similar to her life as a student in Europe.

In an Instagram post, KC uploaded a photo from her graduation along with a story on how she finds the life in quarantine comparable to her daily learnings in Europe.

She started by saying that she's grateful that she was allowed to learn and grow in a different place.

"Graduation day '08. Forever thankful that my parents sent me away to Europe for university. 5 years of growing from a teen to a twenty-something. In a new home that hardly spoke English at all.

"I eventually grew into it, adapted to the culture, got molded by the places and people-- that time remains to be an enormous part of who I am today."

KC continued by telling that her current situation feels just like the same. She is learning and adapting once again because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Funny thing is, I feel like I'm back there now, thrown into something new, something unfamiliar, something different... and succeeding in the situations you find yourself in... as we all learn so much more about how to do LIFE in these bewildering times."

She confessed that she doesn't know what's next but she's unceasingly going with the flow.

"How to do things, how to feel things, how to stay disciplined, how to manage your emotions, how to empathize, how to support yourself, not getting it right all the time, but staying the course and picking yourself back up again. Not knowing what the next thing is gonna be, but going with the flow and just doing it."

The celebrity entrepreneur added, "I'm back to the everydayness of life where there are ups and downs, scary times and then finding pleasure all around. My time as a university student and this time as a student of life (while on lockdown right now) feel the same in so many ways!"

KC described the situation as a moment where we discover something about ourselves as we shift to our new life.

"There's inner work being done to each one of us as we lose our freedom and adapt to new normals. What are YOU learning these days that you know you'll be a better person for?"
