Some more of my discoveries over the past 100 days:
*Air Pods or headphones are necessary. *Also a second room, when living with a spouse 24/7. *I don't think I ever felt like I belonged anywhere, and THAT'S OKAY. *I may not be a beach person, but I do find the changing weather by the ocean EXCITING. *I can now add 'BLOGGER' to my list of collected identities. *Time moves fast no matter how much I try to fight it. *Homemade masks are fun, affordable, and crucial to my efforts at stopping time. *I am not as sentimental as I once was. *My boyfriend is my mirror and reflects myself back at me, whether I like it or not. *Cacio E Pepe is amazing. Always. Always. Always. *Banana Bread is overrated. *I don't have much of a sweet tooth except for French Toast, Dutch Baby Pancakes and Blintzes. Perhaps it's the eggs? *Nature has a lot to teach me. So does science. *I have the making of a conspiracy theorist/cult follower. KNOWING THAT ABOUT MYSELF CHANGES EVERYTHING. (You name it - you tame it) *That making, (which includes mistrusting the system, going against the norm, being carried away by fantasies, having a vivid imagination, and being empathetic and even gullible) , is really great for storytelling, and that's primarily what it should be used for. (This. This. This. Note to self...) *I have trained myself to be 100% bi-lingual. But I wasn't even in an advanced-English-as-a-second-language class in high school. (A moment of bragging, if you will.) *100 days into quarantine, and I STILL don't know how to ride a bike. And whoever said 'It's just like riding a bike' knows NOTHING! Sigh. *I have fixed up a pretty decent mini recording booth at my small apartment. And I'm damn good at voice over work. (Yes, I'm bragging, I know. If you don't believe me, HIRE ME and decide for yourself ;) ) *I have met a lot of my anger recently. It shows up roaring when issues of injustice come up in the world, but I have to be better at putting it into action rather than into suffering. (In other words: I'm learning to use my anger for GOOD!) *I was never into handshakes and really glad they're gone. I do miss hugs though. (But NOT the awkward moment before.) *If I have to wear a mask outside every day for the rest of my life TO GREATLY REDUCE HEALTH RISK to me or others, I'd be more than happy to do so. It's a no brainer, actually. (Etsy has some dope handmade masks) *I am a lucky, lucky, LUCKY human with some amazing people in my life. Really, just pinch me already. How did I get so lucky!?? I won the jackpot. For real. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
