Instead of talking to you about music this week, I want to talk to you about how my life is so far during quarantine. Next week on wednesday will mark my two months of quarantine, which is wild if you think about it. These past two months I have done nothing but eating, sleeping, doing homework, and swimming, which should have been me finishing my freshman year of highschool. Of course I’m grateful for my great health and my home to protect me and my family, but I’ve missed so much of freshman year. Of course it’s nothing compared to what other people might be feeling and other more important things that have been taken away by them, which I have now realized after seeing the rate how corona virus is spreading.
Sometimes I beg my mom to let me come with her to the grocery store to help her out and to maybe “protect” her from all those racist attacks against asians, but she never lets me because she’s scared of me catching it. All day I sit and wonder if it would be better if I moved to Vietnam, where I was born, since their rates are so low with under 300 cases. If you didn’t know their schools are also reopening which I find really interesting since they are a third world country with under 300 cases and reopening schools while the US, a first world country with over 1 million cases. It shocks me how so many people I see on the news protesting how they shouldn’t be kept inside, since by doing that they spread it and might catch it. It truely amazes how dumb this country can be when they should be the opposite.
To entertain myself from endless amounts of homework, sometimes I go swimming in my pool with my siblings when it’s hot out or sometimes I watch videos on youtube or watch Netflix shows or movies. Lately I’ve been getting into Kdramas and chickflixs, probably because of how lonely I am. If I’m not doing either of those things, I would probably be playing games or eating. My daily life has now become an endless routine and it scares me with what might happen in the future if things never get better. I really hope people stay safe out there and make wise decisions.
