quaranteen angst a couple thoughts about being stuck inside and how it makes you feel about yourself


sometimes you make things. it gets harder and harder to make things. or maybe i’m just bad at it. no one can do this all the time, i guess, but right now i feel bad at it. my making isn’t always public - not public like it used to be, and new kinds of public now. it always feels like it has to be public and that i have to make something of the time, especially now there is so much more of it than there ever was before. i have a life. and with that life i have to make things. it is a debt i feel.


lately i’ve had a lot of time, what with all this sitting at home, and i don’t even know what to do with it all and that makes it harder to do anything. i’m getting to be jealous of myself in a time when i could be different, but i think it’s okay to rest, too. and people are like that, you know? it’s easier to build stuff to build around.

i miss the feeling of sunshine and the darkness in a movie theatre and the light outside of a movie theatre, when you come out and expect it to be night and actually it is 4pm and the whole evening is still yours


HOW LONG WILL THIS BE THE NEW NORMAL?

MAYBE FOREVER?


i miss the idea of a me, waking up and doing yoga with discipline. miss the idea of discipline or of doing something out of habit or of being in a way that goes forwards. miss waking eyes.
