How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

I’m lucky enough to be able to spend the quarantine with my entire family in my hometown, reconnecting with the place I grew up in has been refreshing so far but at the same time, I’m also scared this might be a false sense of security. I spent the last few weeks thinking, reading books and magazines, baking, keeping up with assignments, as well as going through old pre-Covid-19 photos/memories and sorting out my priorities for the future. My biggest dream is to see rebirth happen after all this devastation. I’m sure this time has many of us reminiscing on all the beautiful things in life we used to take for granted. Once the pandemic is over, I hope to see more gratitude, more excitement, more joy. We need to turn the upcoming years into the new roaring ’20s. My fear, on the other hand, is that it might take too long for that to happen. 

What is your soundtrack?

England and I need my girl by The National. They make me really nostalgic.
