One unexpected thing that has come from social distancing these past few months is I have finally been tackling all those menial tasks I have put off for “some day when I have time” like clearing out the unused household items, curating my closet and finally taking the time to learn new hobbies, work on writing again and really perfecting a few meals to cook well for myself. This in turn is finally getting to the point where I feel like I can start devoting my leisure time to things I care about and experimenting with new hobbies I’ve been saying I’ll try for years. When things start leveling out again I feel I’ll better be able to meet up with others for more quality time without a thousand other things “to do” on my mind. And maybe for once I’ll be able to contribute to meaningful conversations instead of sitting by quietly with nothing to contribute, since I’ve been doing things and learning things worth talking about. I’m not sure if in any other circumstances it would be considered anything but rude and/or at least seen as a deliberate means to distance myself from others for months on end to get my shit together. Even I couldn’t have known it would take this much time to get all these things that have been building up (physically and mentally) sorted out. I’m ready for things to just calm down for a while so I can devote my time to the activities that bring me fulfillment, I can volunteer for things I care about and just making the most with the time I have. My next hurdle is another move in a couple months to a new apartment (again! ) where I can hopefully and finally stay put for a while. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCohBRDleUU/?igshid=1ifw7n1rx0uf -- source link
