There are a lot of fantastic photos, illustrations, paintings, or otherwise out there but the one above by illustrator Ramona Wultschner is one of my favorites at the moment. My days in quarantine have been full of ups and downs, some days are just better than others. Whilst scrolling on Instagram at some miscellaneous hour of the evening of a particularly rough day I found this photo and it made me smile and decide to change my mood. I decided to turn on Spotify's "twerk playlist" and dance around my kitchen while making lemon bars. There is so much joy in dancing like no one is watching. This illustration captures the fun childish side of people. Especially in times like this,when times are tough and only essential workers are allowed to work and everyone gets TENSE if someone near them coughs, , it is important to remember to do loosen up something fun. Be goofy, be creative, its more than OK to be a dork and find a way to enjoy the simple things, regardless of your age.
