Are you spending your time differently? What are you doing more/less of?
I have been spending my time much differently then I would usually if I could leave my house. A typical weekend for me doesn’t include a lot of time at my house, especially alone. I usually spend most of my time out, going to restaurants, driving around, and exploring new places with my friends. But in the past couple of weeks I have mostly been going through my things and organizing drawers I didn’t know I had. I spent my entire day yesterday sanding then painting an old dresser of mine, which I’m pretty proud of now. After that I have been noticing more imperfections within my room and different things I could get rid of or move or paint. All this cleaning and somehow some part of my room is always messy.

Me and my friends used to play this game when we were little. We would go around and ask each other how they would describe color to a blind person, or someone who’s never seen color before. A seemingly simple task but when attempted, near impossible. Try describing blue. It’s the color of the sky, it’s light, or dark, it’s kinda like green but also purple. I don’t think this description would help a blind person in the slightest. But what even is color? How do you really define it?

Although similar, these definitions mean different things. ...

How was the recent holiday? I celebrate Easter, and this past one felt very strange. In my family, we don’t usually do a lot or see tons of family, just me, my parents, my siblings, and my grandparents. We eat at the big fancy table that we only set and sit at three times a year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. I actually live with my grandparents, but they have been understandably very hesitant to spend time around us. This year they didn’t come down to eat with us and I realized it was the first time we had sat at that table without them. It was a sad realization, but we’re still grateful that we get to still be near them, even if we don’t have much interaction.

Name one thing you make sure to do that makes you happy, hopeful, more relaxed.  One thing I have been trying to do while this is going on is to keep moving. It can be very easy with online classes one after the other to stay in the same position for hours on end. Because of this, I try to get up and stretch or do small workouts between all of my classes, and I always feel much better on days where I do this, and not so great on days that I don’t. Staying active, even if it’s not as much as I usually am, has been very helpful in keeping my mood up and keeping my body feeling good.
