Aside from the usual water, wifi, Netflix, here are some items that I consider "non-essential essentials" to get by during quarantine! ...and a little letter from me to you at the end :)

The internet is transforming what we know as "boundaries", into something non-existent. 

Is that a work message at at this late hour? Do I need to reply my IG DMs now? It's not that I don't want to video call you, but I've just spent hours on a call with my managers. 

​On some days, I felt like there were no boundaries for my own time. It was frustrating and I had to establish that boundary for myself because I simply could not focus on anything.

I am drawing a hard, virtual line between my space and the internet realm.

Roads are empty. No roaring honks. I don't think I've heard a plane fly by either. There's little to no life walking the streets. Curfews are a thing. Going out is no-no (only okay if it's for essentials). It all seems very apocalyptic and the thunderstorm that comes every afternoon adds to the looming effect. 

It sucks being away from the people you want to be with the most right now, but we're all safer where we are to flatten the COVID-19 pandemic curve! 

Frankly, you don't have to be in love for this to relate. You're probably missing a couple of people in your life and the long distance sucks. 

I'd like to share five things that I do to keep myself sane and connected with my favourite people!
