What I've Been Doing During COVID-19

Not gonna lie, it's been nice to be at home.

I'm scared. I'm scared of what's to come and what tomorrow even holds, but I keep trying to keep a positive outlook on all of this. It will get better and I know that, but it has to get worse before it does get better. I've struggled with my mental health and having to stay home all of the time doesn't help, but I've been keeping myself pretty busy and being productive so that I don't just sit around and overthink or become sad.

I am finally getting to watch the tv shows and movies that I have on my watch list that I have been too busy to watch and get to. Which is actually so fun because I've gotten so busy with life that I haven't gotten to truly sit down and watch a show in I don't know how long. I'm excited to keep marking things off my watch list like I used to do in high school.

Oh my goodness being able to SLEEP IN. Today I slept in until 12:05 in the afternoon! I haven't done that in lord knows how long and I don't regret it one bit. I felt so refreshed when I woke up and I didn't even feel like my day was gone. I usually hate hate sleeping past 9:00 in the morning because I feel like my day is wasted and I've wasted valuable time that I already don't have.

I finally finished the scrapbook for mine and my boyfriend's four years together...even though we've been together for five and a half years, lol! I am also almost finished with our five year scrapbook. It's so amazing to finally have time to spend hours on them and work on them. I think I also might start on our six year one too, who knows!

I've been cleaning and able to decrease the amount of stuff I have. That's refreshing. Being able to diminish the amount of stuff I have feels so refreshing, reorganizing my things and getting a new look on my room...I'm living for it.

I've spent so many days at home and focusing on myself. Yes, this is all scary and we don't know what could happen. Although, I do personally think this is a good opportunity to be at home with your family and spend quality time with them that you are usually too busy to do. Take this as an opportunity to focus on family more and again and allow yourself to see that even when this ends, you need to continue to do it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
