Quarantine thoughts

I have thought about starting to write, is my passion, even tho I don’t do it so often anymore. I don’t do a lot of things that I used to, I used to listen to music a lot thru a speaker in my room, I used to exercise at a gym, I used to go out to bars and talk to people, the simplest things I know but everything is different now; and then I realized, quarantine is very depressing, and nothing will be the same again.

So that’s why I said: what the hell, imma write about anything that goes thru my mind, I am pretty sure there is people out there that feels exactly how I feel; everyone is going thru the same situation, as emotionally and economically.

A lot of friends have said in the beginning of all this that quarantine is supposed to be to find yourself, bring out the best of you, get better as an individual, be healthy, discover your passion, create new hobbies. But to be completely honest I cannot do anything in that list because of the previous situation stated, quarantine is depressing and we are all having emotional and economic issues.

It is quite scary the pandemic and the possibility that I might be infected right now, but at the same time I’m also scared to not know how to pay rent, or help out my mom, or my bills, how am I going to save up money for my future if there is no jobs out there for me to earn.

This are difficult times, there’s a lot of pressure now more than ever, stimulus checks are being sent to dead people, how? Unemployment is taking forever to come for more than 3 million people, we are being asked to stay quarantined but there’s no certainty of opening any businesses, which are the ones that keep the economy going.

I still don’t understand how Italy government can shut down all borders, keep everyone quarantined inside their homes, pay everyone’s rent and mortgages, provide food and deliver it to citizens front doors, and the US is doing quite the opposite.

We all need to work but keeping the new normal measures. This is gonna be our new normal until at least get a cure. We just have to follow the orders and keep staying safe.

Wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, use a mask, eat healthy, exercise, apply social distancing 6 feet apart, get a lot of vitamin c. We are all in this together. This is my quarantine thought at the moment.

Thank you
