QUARANTINE ROUTINE

Maintaining Sanity

So… we can all agree that March didn’t really go as planned, right? I wrote “transformative” in my March mood board buT NOT LIKE THIS!!!!! Anyways, I made this “Pre-Quarantine Fever Dream” video inspired by surrealism, the routine of the hosts in Westworld and the beautiful sceneries in Studio Ghibli films. I can’t wait to go on a road trip, thrift and eat out again once this quarantine lifts. I miss being an introvert in public 🙁

I see a lot of quarantined people working out, creating things and I have to say… can’t relate. I try to be productive and ~make the best~ out of this quarantine but sometimes, I just can’t. It gets boring. I scrolled through social media all day and/or watched videos in bed and did nothing productive. I want to eat out or I overindulged in snacks. Sometimes I feel lazy during this quarantine and that’s okay! This quarantine is already stressful enough without the guilt of being unproductive.

Hope to see you all again after quarantine 🙂

Until then,
wash ya hands! xx
