If there isn’t, you can be that bright place… with infinite capacities.”

Happy Friday! I hope you are all still safe, healthy and making smart choices. In the news, there are talks about slowly reopening the economy, which I find hope that the end is near. But we should not reopen until we are ready. I know NYC extended the stay-at-home order until May 15th, which means I will be here in Columbus, Ohio for another month. I am very eager to get back to NYC and back to my normal life, but I am enjoying spending time with my parents

Over the past month, I have found various ways to help cope with the Coronavirus and being quarantine. Occupying myself to forget about the sadness and the fear; to do things that make me happy and lift my spirits. I try to find light and the good in these trying times; spending more time with my parents, having good health, the ability to destress and relax, more time to create, more time to read and journal, sleep a lot, a place to live and food to eat and money to buy things. I am looking at this time not as a prisoner stuck in my own home but as someone who is fortunate to have all the time in the world to do the things she loves to do and to be with people she loves. Here are a few things getting me through quarantine besides my family and friends.

Happy Friday! Well, it’s been almost a month into quarantine and things are starting to get to me. This past week I felt emotional about everything.

Silver lining’s like how I am spending more time with my parents. This is my biggest blessing of them all.

Happy Friday! Are we dreading weekends now or are we still looking forward to it? I, for one, feel indifferent and have not thought of the weekend during this time of quarantine as something to dread. But as I was scrolling through Twitter I saw a tweet from Betches saying how Friday feelings are different because of the excruciating boredom of the weekend. As I have been doing my best to not watch TV during the weekday, I am leaving my binge-watching shows and hours of reading for the weekends. But as our lives feel like Groundhogs Day, I feel no different from a Saturday to a Tuesday except for a few more hours of idleness.
