Quarantine without question - Day 32

As with most of the world, I am in quarantine. Having reached the 30 day mark, I currently have no qualms or questions about this change to my routine.

Not having the ability to do what you want, when you want, outside of your home is a challenge but I haven’t suffered.

It’s a strange parallel to find myself in.

I’m writing this at 4:31a, but now when insomnia visits I don’t worry about how it will affect my output at work. I don’t commute and I can take a nap. Suddenly I have enough hours in the day.

I have seen some of my favorite artists performing some of my favorite songs for free or a very nominal fee.

I have been physically distant without socially suffering:

•I’ve danced for hours straight at some of the best parties

•worked out almost every day

•tried new recipes

•met new people

•won multiple prizes at virtual parties (yes I won that bottle pictured and it was delivered to me!)

•reconnected with others

•virtually dated +++

•spent more time with family and friends

All of these (& then some) were done without leaving the comfort of my home. All of these align with my mantra for this year which was “All Me in 2020”...I’ve lived out loud!

Uncertainties remain of course, and I don’t take the current status of the world we live in lightly by any means. If anything I’ve been granted clarity, a break from monotonous living and a chance to change the trajectory of my future. Here’s to hoping we all come out of this better than when we were forced into it.

Day 32 of...???
