#lockdown thoughts

Jeder erzählt mir, ich soll über Weihnachten meine Kontakte reduzieren. Ich frag mich nur wie, wo ich doch schon vor Corona keine hatte.

I can’t believe it’s really taken a global pandemic to realise the system we live in is fucking shit. We live for the weekend, to go out and forget that we will be working until 65, you’ll probably never be able to afford a house until then, you’ll still be paying debt from NOW. Politicians gave themselves a £3,300 raise this year and voted no for a raise for our NHS. You sit and wonder why you’re depressed? From the age of 5 we are institutionalised, we go into school there is a bell for when you must work, a bell for when you may have a break, a bell when you may eat and a bell when you may leave. We are brainwashed into finding your dream job where you want to work and live the rest of your life. You are taught to want to work, it is not a natural thing, I think adults forget that teenagers are adjusting to a system they have conformed to for much longer and are much more used to. Teenagers are not lazy they want to live the way they want, why on earth would I want to grow up and have to work for the rest of my life for someone else to live how they want? I don’t have a dream job, I don’t want to work myself to death to get a mediocre life. The people we elected are keeping us so distracted from how fucked up the system is. Black Lives Matter over lockdown is an example, people before lockdown didn’t care they had their own lives to get along with, too busy to check if their own people are being treated fairly. Allowing racism is racist and it took people a second to realise that. When they weren’t too focused trying to live to their own societal standards. But what I’m saying is when are we gonna do something about this? I’m tired of not loving life, I’m tired of worrying about the future, I’m tired of trying to keep up with the pace the world was at before this lockdown and I’m tired of being unable to enjoy simple moments.

Hi!

 I’m not going to beat around the bush. It’s all absolutely shit at the moment. There’s very little to look forward to, we’re all stuck indoors, and the only things to keep us busy is work (which I don’t feel like doing) and playing video games (which I do feel like doing). Over lockdown, I’ve found myself turning to things that I used to really enjoy when I was younger as entertainment; it’s comforting, but means that I haven’t done a great deal of branching out. I think I watched Peep Show the whole way through at least 7 times last year alone, and replayed Breath of the Wild twice. 

That said, something that I did discover last autumn was a game on Steam that I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with called Stardew Valley. Having not had a lot of inspiration for my ACNH island, a cute little farming/social simulator seemed like just the kind of wish fulfillment experience I needed. As usual, I was right. I was hooked pretty much immediately, and soon I found myself very attached to its characters (some more than others, *cough* Lewis *cough*). Because of that, I have some pretty strong personal headcanons and I’d really love to join the ranks of the other amazing SDV headcanon blogs just for something to do in my free time while it still looks like a while off before I can do much else. Just send me an ask!

While I’ll do my best to research anything I’m less knowledgeable about, there may be certain topics that I simply don’t have the experience to be able to write about accurately, and I’ll be sure to let you know if that’s the case.

This ended up being a lot more rambling than I intended oops.

I swing between hating lockdown and never wanting lockdown to end

Gotta be honest with you guys, this lockdown is really hitting me harder than the other two. Everyday is a struggle to keep upbeat & I just feel like shit all the time 😭
