We have been in quarantine for 78 days now. Throughout these days, more things have happened in the world than I can count. Everyday is completely different. That is weird to think about, however, because for the majority of us, everyday seems to be exactly the same. In response to the prompts for today; I try not to look at the news too much. In the beginning of quarantine, I looked at the stats and news a lot. But, I realized that it probably wasn’t the smartest idea to always fill my head with negatives. However, I do still know things that are happening, just not every little detail. Throughout this pandemic, I have definitely felt very alone at times. It’s strange to think that even though (almost) everyone in the world is dealing with similar circumstances, we can still manage to feel so alone. I honestly never realized until quarantine how important socialization really is. I have never been the best in social situations, but it feels weird to not be surrounded by people all the time. So, I just try to keep a positive mindset, even when it’s hard at times.
