GOING UP!

My dad was hospitalized right before the pandemic. Ever since, each day feels like an anvil of uncertainty hanging over my head. Ready to drop at any moment. As a recent underemployed graduate, barely in my twenties, this quarantine has been stressful to say the least. I try not to ask myself each day how things could possibly get worse, and find myself glued to my phone struggling to refrain from "Doom-scrolling". What's helped me cope with my anxiety and uncertainty throughout this pandemic has been finding healthy distractions like hosting Hulu watch parties or reconnecting with nature. Its amazing what some fresh air can do. At the end of the day, as tempting as it is to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders there's no point in stressing about things that are out of our control. If there's anything I've learned from all this, is at least when you're rock bottom you've got nowhere left to go but up.
