I appreciate all the encouragement towards self-improvement during this quarantine but I think people should also just be allowed to exist peacefully in a non-productive way. Not every day has to be filled to the brim. Maybe I just have the wrong mindset, I don’t know.
I just get frustrated seeing people talking about maximizing productivity or establishing new habits during this time. Not because it’s something I can’t do but because I think it just lacks a certain amount of understanding. Some people have more to worry about.
I’m in a very privileged position to know that I will probably come out of this quarantine okay. I just wish everything didn’t have to feel so dire all the time. SQUEEZE OUT EVERY BIT OF LIFE RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT OR ELSE YOU WILL REGRET IT. YOU WANT TO FALL BEHIND? BE LESS THAN?
CAN IT ALL JUST BE QUIET. It’s so loud. Let people take things a struggle at a time. Let people be okay with not doing anything every now and then. It’s okay to be still. If you fell behind, you can always catch up. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT I JUST WANT TO NAVIGATE THIS SAFELY
