2 years later..
Yea, (dusting off the blog) its been a minute since I posted anything here. I thought for sure I would be posting regularly during the shutdown because I figured, what else was there to do besides school work, taking care of things around the house and cooking.
Here we are on the other side of the shutdown. I am guess-timating almost fully embracing our new normal. Some things that I reflect on that I learned during that time:
-Self care can come in whatever shape or form that helps you, its not always about bubble baths and scented candles
-There are a lot of creatives that were not able to "create" pre-pandemic. The shutdown gave people the space to indulge as we have seen a lot of it unfold on social media
-It is possible for the world to be quiet. I watched "The Year Earth Changed" and it was fascinating and amazing to see how nature responded to the pandemic.
Sometimes I still grapple with the thought that everyone around the world was experiencing the same situation at the same time.
