Life under quarantine has so far been a continual journey of introspection. I’ve learned to bake, started to read and even play music and write. On paper this quarantine shouldn’t have affected an introverted nerd like myself, as under normal circumstances I’d be most often found in front of a console or computer. Perhaps knowing that this now “socially responsible” behaviour is actually a process with a beginning and end, I’ve sought to use part of this time to better my interests, so that by the end of this process I come out a better person than I was at the start.

Though perhaps once this is over I’ll go back to binge watching TV and playing games with nachos on my lap all day, as has been proven, life is after all no more than an uncertain journey.
