Search Results: spending time together

For all my extravert or social introvert friends,

I want to take some time and ask you, "How are you doing?" because I know right now, social people are struggling. Loneliness is hard but we will all eventually survive isolation and can be social once more.

Like most people who want to get out and see people, I understand that this time of isolation, quarantine, shelter-in-place, or your anger towards people for being idiots is really hard [to keep in emotionally]. You just want to yell "LET ME OUT" and live your life again— I mean I feel like that right now. But please PLEASE be patient and think about immunocompromised people right now; people who you could get close to and infect unknowingly, people who might die because you want to have fun. (sorry that got really sad there)

Anyways, through this pandemic, I give you a 16-year-old's words of advice (aka mine lol): try to see the best in this situation. Find a way to connect with family, whether making amends, announcing something new or spending hours debating whether it's tomato or tomato[e]. Start a new artistic project: sew/create new clothes, paint a picture of your pet, or decorate your room with paper snowflakes. Finally see it as a way to get some housework done cleaning, organizing. Or to make a new dish, desert or drink to spice up your life.

Finally, FaceTime, talk to, or call friends because even though you can't physically go see anyone, you can still see them and catch up on life through the magical world called the internet.

I just want everyone to be safe, respectful, and stay optimistic because the sooner we all work together to stay healthy, the sooner this pandemic and these lockdowns will be over too. Also don't freak out over this outbreak because it should not be something you are stressing over.

Thanks for reading. #helptheextraverts #howareyousurviving #covid19
