Solitude

A Quite World

“There's just something obvious about emptiness, even when you try to convince yourself otherwise. ” - Sarah Dessen

Mondays are always rough, even with the online school it is still completely rough. Going from lounging around and not having to think about the time I have to be out of bed by then having to force myself to head downstairs at around 8:30 is not fun. Since lockdown has started, walking my dog has helped with this. So this afternoon I did exactly that. I know Solitude is supposed to be isolated from others and to be alone, however, my dog is practically my right hand. He is better than any therapist I have been to ever in my life. Plus its instant therapy. All he has to do is come up to me wagging his tail and all my life problems seem to go away. That's why I love walking with him. Recently and today I have been thinking a lot about what life will be like after quarantine. Usually, when I try crossing the street I have to wait a couple of minutes. However recently, I didn't even have to look both ways before I crossed.

Quarantine has effected all of us, some more than others. And seeing people walking by with masks on just feels weird. I have seen so many houses empty, people packed up and gone to their relatives across the country. It is weird seeing everything that used to be booming so empty.

To put it simply, I cannot wait for things to open up again. Although this is a nice break, I am ready for things to start back up again.
