Hey, how are you holding up out there? It’s difficult to convey the right amount of weirdness we’re facing at the moment. “Bizarre,” doesn’t even begin to cover it, and anything more begins to feel overwritten, grandiose, or nihilistic. Anything less, and it’s unrealistic, naïve, or heartless. I find myself walking a similar tightrope-rollercoaster in my day-to-day: I woke up early this morning to bake bread, then took a stress nap at 4pm (which more closely resembled light coma than nap). I miss going outside for pointless excursions to corner shops, I miss grocery stores, and I miss the gentle fluorescent hum of department stores. I miss museums, cramped art supply stores ventilated by a single box fan, and tourist shops selling saltwater taffy. It’s not much, but I want to get back there. I am sure that I am not alone in this.
As I said to my adviser earlier, and as my mother recently told me, and as I heard on the news or saw in some inspirational-but-grounded tweet: the only way out is through. In the meantime, here are some games for staying indoors and remembering the outdoors.
