If I didn’t know that I was an introvert before, I am 100% sure of it now.
While I have been enjoying the solitude, the anxiety surrounding the situation has been building up. I find myself becoming more uneasy as the days pass, not knowing how bad things will get. I am also well-aware that too much consumption of news outlets can heavily contribute to these feelings, so I’m saying no to bad news and yes to some good news. When I need to know something, I am sure my mom will let me one (thanks mom <3)
It’s so intriguing to me how creative and funny people can be when they get ‘bored’. There have been so many belly-laughs in our house lately over TikToks and memes, and for that I am so grateful. This is just reiterating the fact that when our parents told us “it’s good to be bored”, they were kind of onto something.
Anyways, just like everyone else in the world, I have been looking for ways to spend my time indoors and I wanted to share some of the things that have been bringing joy to my life. To be honest, I typically forget what day it is and have lost all sense of routine and time, but my days most often include some good sleep, cooking and maybe some baking, painting, writing, exercise and a lot of Netflix and chill.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I fell head-over-heels in love with the Let’s Make Art kits I received in the mail. It’s a small company that sells kits, or monthly memberships, to learn to watercolor paint, hand letter or create art journals. The best thing about this is that the kit comes with everything you need (besides brushes, which were easy enough to tack onto the order) to get started right away, and there are even follow along tutorials on YouTube. I ordered three painting kits and was extremely pleased with my first go at watercolors.
A hobby that I’ve always enjoyed but seems to be much more prominent now that I am home and have ample time is baking. I’ve made countless banana breads and with the amount of ripe bananas on my countertop at the moment, I see many more in my future.
I think we can all agree that 2020 has been crazy and the fact that the world is on lockdown right now is actually mind-blowing. We are all doing what we can and staying home, so why not make the most of it?
