Self isolation Difficulties
Hello everyone!
As an introvert, being in quarantine isn’t too bad, but I do miss having the option of leaving. I’ve been a lot more productive since discovering the actor schedule on Facebook. I don’t follow it rigidly, but it helps me to have some sort of schedule set in place. It also keeps me from scrolling through the news and social media which only makes me worry more. I refuse to panic, but having enough time to think about our situation doesn’t help.
So, needless to say going to sleep and staying asleep has been hard. It doesn’t help to be away from family. All I want is to be with them fighting this uncertainty by their side! I’ve continued my self care routine and that helps to an extent.
Otherwise these past few days continue to be stress filled as we tru to figure out what our next steps are. Do we go home and straight into quarantine or stay here? What’s going to happen once we pay rent? That always takes a big bite out of our bank accounts, but we have no way of knowing when or how we’ll replenish that money. We have money saved up... money we had planned on using towards getting our own place in a few months.
Not to mention the pressure to create something great as many creatives in our position are trying to do. I don’t feel inspired to create anything at the moment and I have to remind myself that that’s okay. It’s a lot to process and that’s all I want to say for now.
Stay safe and healthy my friends. Much love.
