Hey, is this thing on?
* crickets *
Great. It's been a few months since I last checked in. What did I miss?
A global pandemic? Wow. I didn't even notice.
Just kidding. My 2-week Spring Break has turned into a 5-month stay-at-home order where I wear a mask out in public like I'm Captain freaking America or something.
Listen, I fully support wearing masks, I just miss showing off my lipgloss of the day.
My lips really do be poppin. :/
I've been thinking about writing a blog post talking about COVID-19 for a while now, but I feel like I was never in the right headspace. There are SO many thoughts in my head, but it can be really difficult to communicate what I want to say when I don't even know how to deal with what's going on.
The other day, my mom even told me that I'm allowed to complain to her whenever I feel like it. I sure hope so. She loads a lot of crap onto me. After all, who else would understand all of the Real Housewives drama without even watching the show?
Ramona really needs to start minding her own business instead of starting drama all the time. Girl, why do you think Bethany gets so fed up with you all the time?
Smh.
Don't get me wrong. I love to complain. It's so easy to do and it requires no effort.
This is exactly why I try to avoid it.
There's absolutely no reason for me to complain about what's going on right now. This situation sucks for so many people. If I let myself get depressed, I could easily find myself going down a very dark rabbit hole, and I just can't let that happen.
There's a lot of positive things that I choose to focus on instead. For example, I recently cleaned my room and designed a cute corner area where I can look out the window and dream of all the things I want to accomplish while in quarantine.
Are there dead lady bug carcasses on the window sill? Yes. Do I let that ruin my mood? Eh, only for a second. One day, I'll gather up the courage to dispose of these fallen heroes properly.
That day is not today. Or tomorrow. Maybe next week.
I just wanted to get a few of my thoughts out so I could prove to myself that I'm still capable of writing a coherent sentence. I write all the time for my 50 internships, but I haven't been dedicating much time to write for myself lately. That's going to change.
This is just a taste of what's to come. In the meantime, stay safe, wear a mask, and be anti-racist.
Kisses,
Kara
