No one likes you COVID 19
Hello,
I hope you all are fine.
I haven't been. My family problems plus applications plus quarratine plus work has made me a little teeny tiny bit moody.
So I thought I would make a list of things I have been doing to keep me sane this month.
1) If you want to be productive, do it
While it is not necessary to be productive. You can, if you have the mental capacity and time for it. Please don't push yourselves. But it is okay to engage in activities
Duolingo - Really good free app to learn languages
Female Fitness- Free app for workouts
Udemy and Coursera- All courses are 95% off
2) Hobbies
If you do not want to learn a new skill. You can always spend time working on an old one.
I have started writing again. Even written a few stories and poems. Let me know if I should post them.
3) Hello, It's me
Reconnect with old friends. I have had face time sessions and playing games with old friends. It has actually been quite good. Recommend it especially if you miss someone
4) Watching movies and shows
Rom coms and movies that don't really stimulate you are good for times when you need a distraction that doesn't act as a trigger for anxiousness or scary thoughts.

6) Stalk insta profiles (Celeb Edition)
Hey, this may not be the most conventional one out there. But I have noticed stalking Celeb's insta especially if they joined back in the day. You will really unearth some gems. I stalked Zach Braff, Khloe Kardashian and Ryan Reynolds. Damn to see their change really makes you think
7) Tik toks
Yes, I am sure I pissed people off with this one. But I actually spend time watching Tik Toks and they are fun. Even the cringy ones, leave you quite entertained
8) Games like Cards against humanity and Uno
Playing these online are so much fun. They help people who have a competitive streak. And also it's a good bonding exercise as a family, for siblings, significant others, cousins and friends.
9) Reading
Some books I have been reading
- Percy Jackson (I know they are for kids. But i love them and occasionally read them again)
- The Subtle art of not giving a fuck
- Looking for Alaska
- The pregnant king
- The count of monte cristo
10) Journaling and Talking it out
Sometimes writing or talking about how you feel really helps. Especially in unsure times like this. Remind your loved ones and yourself that you are doing the best you can
Stay safe. Wash your hands and stay indoors.
And stay away from people.
Sending lots of love and good vibes
A colored girl
