This whole “stay at home” thing has me feeling all of these emotions all at once. It’s like a hard slap in the face. Whether you wanted to deal with the skeleton in your closet or not, you have no other choice but to do that now. The pressure of getting your shit together and figuring out what you should be doing just hasn’t gone away, but at the same time you still have the pressure of doing it all on time.
The expression, “walking out of time” fits perfectly at this moment because I still feel like I’m “running” out of time, but it’s just going a little slower. I feel like I can physically see time passing by me during this pandemic, but I just can’t catch up to it. Caught in between improving my relationship with my family, friends, and peers and just relaxing and taking some time for myself.
I commend those that are finding a balance and I encourage everyone to use that extra time that you have, whether it’s after work, before you go to bed, or before you start your work day… do what you have to do.
