Nicolai and I have been confined sick to our apartment the last few days, and we've definitely both got some cabin-fever coming up. It's just a regular ol' influenza. We feel dreadful, absolutely dreadful. Fever, snot, coughing and isolation - the whole shebang. But amidst all of this around us, I can't help but feel grateful. I'm grateful that we have each other, even we hardly speak from exhaustion, there's that squeeze of my hand, or a kiss on my gross hair. We've both gotten a bit more lucid today, and I'm really happy to have been able to sit with my tablet and draw a bit tonight. But with all this down time I can't help think, you know? I'm washing my hands twenty times a day and using clean towels, using disinfectant and drinking tea and tea and tea. But not everyone has the endless resources we have. My parents and brothers have offered to drive 1,5 hours to Viborg to do groceries for us, or bring us medicine if we need it. I'm grateful. I'm incredibly grateful. Not everyone has a family like ours. I'm grateful our sickness is going to pass, and that we don't have to worry whether our sickness is going to kill us. I'm grateful we have the framework that allows us to get back on our feet without the fear of losing income or safety. I'm grateful we have access to healthcare and the finances to pay for medicine. And rn I'm grateful as fuck for painkillers. All of this makes me feel small, and I fear for those going through epidemic and illness without all that we have. If you're sick and you need it to hear it; stay strong. #sickness #illness #influenza #flu #illustration #graphicart #drawing #art #artaccount #artist #artstagram #instaart #artistsoninstagram #health #recovery #coronavirus #thinkingtoomuch #cabinfever https://www.instagram.com/p/B8E8yhkl3P0/?igshid=j6fmlt2kx6oh
