Ever since March, I've been stuck in this endless cycle, living the same day over and over. I'm unemployed and there is a pandemic going on currently, so most days I would be in my house, sometimes for weeks and months at a time. Occasionally I would leave my house to practice driving to earn my license, and even go out for walks just to get some fresh air. For the first few months, it was fine. It felt like I was just taking a break, giving some time to myself to relax. But as time goes, and the more days that I am stuck in my house, I become burnt out of things that I enjoy doing the most, such as playing video games. I am looking forward to the days that this cycle would be over and that life would be back to normal, where I don't have to worry about catching a virus in public.
The stay-at-home order mid-March 2020 was abrupt. We are coming up to March 2021! Perhaps something new such as IS101-2003 coursework can break the cycle :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of our peers recently posted a blog about introducing healthy habits. I know it's tough finding joy right now. There are too many things happening in the world, but perhaps not enough in our lives. There is always something to do to break the constant cycle of this light quarantine we have ourselves in.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel. I felt pretty similarly last year. Sometimes I catch myself wishing I was the people I watch on TV. It's weird to think of life before Corona because it feels like so far until we'll be there again.
ReplyDeleteHope you can find some coping methods to deal with the rough times in this period. I know I'm dealing with some things like this as well. There are probably opportunities during this time, business-wise, to maybe focus on, such as buying real estate properties from bank foreclosures and people selling at a low price because of the economy, then flipping it and/or leasing it for profit. Well, that's what I'm focused on, at least.
ReplyDeleteThis has been hard for lots of people so don't feel alone.We just have to find a hobby or something you like to do that is permitted under covid guidelines. Unfortunately seems like this is the new norm.
ReplyDeleteI am in your same boat, wanting the cycle to end. As time progresses on there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel and I know that I very much look forward for things to be back to normal.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its probably the best time to start a college education, however it is all online. I would have loved to experience college in person though.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm one of the few people who isn't too bother by the lock down. Although all these anti-mask Karen's on the internet are starting to pop up more and more. At least it's entertaining to watch them flip out over a mask LOL
ReplyDeleteAt first I really liked the lockdown for the simple fact that I was truly struggling with a few different things, and being distanced from people was a major benefit. I still enjoy it, but I have realized how much has changed with me as I've found myself swept into a continual cycle. I continue to remind myself that other major viruses and outbreaks have had a start and an end :).
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I feel the same way, I only really leave the house to take my sister to gym and take my siblings to school but the days seem so long and there is only so many things to do before you become bored of them, even when its things you normally like to do.
