This is our reality, deal with it.

So, I haven’t written a blog in a long while. I said at the start of this journey that I was going to so I could improve my literary ability when it came to writing essays. It was a selfish desire to please myself and not others.

What happened though? Well after the last post I created, I took a step back and found myself in a creative rut. I was trying to put an image of myself out into the world; this productive, charismatic individual, that I didn’t even know myself. This is what the internet is comprised of. It is almost if people online are ashamed when it comes to letting people in, and being truthful with themselves. I struggled with this for a while. I set myself challenges everyday to “be nice to my mum” or “stay positive no matter what” that I lost touch with my emotions. I forgot how to feel. It could be considered sociopathic, you might say.

Moreover, I decided that I would embellish myself in exercise, driving lessons and revision for my a levels. This worked for a while, but I soon became bored, uninterested in my goals. 

Inevitably, this rut stayed with me for a while. Going into 2020, I thought this would be great to reset my mind. So I decided to be honest in all situations. I could not of thought of a better idea. I saw my confidence grow, my opinions became known. I was no longer a nobody at school. Did I go overboard?Yes, many times. 

Then this pandemic started. I have tried to stay positive throughout all of this, and seem to be doing okay so far. 

These are my do’s and don’ts for quarantine

Do:

Speak to your friends as frequently as you can

Start a new hobby, or pick up something that you have not done before

Exercise and get out of the house, as much as you can

Don’t:

Read the news too often

Go on trending on twitter

do nothing with your time, watch Homes under the Hammer, and be a lazy bum

Stay in your room, you will go insane

Go on your phone too much, your brain will fry

I know I have a purpose. I have to stay positive throughout this all. What is the point in being depressed in a situation you have no control in. What is the point of complaining for something you voted for. 

Listen to the government. Stay inside. There is more than enough to do. 

Just don’t forget to exercise 🙂
