3/23- Journalists are urging everyone to write about their quarantined experiences. It’s interesting that my blog (or personal diary) is called You Only Need You. I started writing to prove to myself that I only needed my own strengths to get me through life. Well, now that I am forced to do that, by the state government, I’m feeling a little differently.
We all want to do our own thing. Some of us are introverts and enjoy being inside. Now, that we are forced to be inside, I am realizing how lucky I am (was) to be able to be outside. For months, I’ve had no desire to do anything. Suddenly, when I’m told that I CANNOT do anything-I want to! Is quarantining a hidden cure for depression?
No one knows what to do at my place of employment. We are told to do something and then an hour later it changes. Everyone is frustrated and angry.
People have bought out supplies at stores, we cannot get bread. They are acting like the world is ending and it’s not. I’ve realized a lot about humanity this week. No one reads anymore. Every decision is based off of irrational fear.
