After reading some of my classmates posts, I am somewhat grateful to be bored and have uneventful days in a time like this. I have my health and my family has their health and there is not much more I could ask for. I try to remind myself of this everyday when I inevitably start to become frustrated and angry with the whole situation. I have to remind myself that, this is a fine life to be living right now given the circumstances.
Yesterday though was the first day I felt some sliver of inspiration to have a productive full day since this all began. -- It felt like immense progress compared to the days I have been living which were full of naps, self pity, and sadness.
I was thinking about my personal situation the other day and I was considering the fact that if this quarantine period begun when I was here in America at school like usual, I don't think it would have hit me so hard. But because I was in Rome spending so many hours of each day outside walking, going out to dinner so frequently, grabbing coffee from the cafe everyday, this social distancing has been such a difficult transition.
I hope my day of productivity turns into a routine and I can come out of this time with a sense of accomplishment and pride in myself for not wasting this time even though it could have been easily wasted.
Here are some designs posted by a graphic designer which I follow on Instagram, they felt positive and bright like the way I would like to feel going forward...
