In these scary times, one has to appreciate what one has. A roof over our heads, a comfy bed, a few good pillows, a pet, a working toilet/shower, and doors that lock. There are many people out there who "had their chance" who don't have any or all of these things. So take a deep breath, look around, and say thank you to nothing in particular. Just say it out loud and hopefully, you feel so satisfied for at least a moment... before you turn to your closed windows and doors and suddenly feel your heartbeat race and something internal feels like a caged cat doing circles to try to escape.
I know four walls can be daunting (especially if you rent a condo in LA) but just keep breathing. The Gen Z is giving Millennials an even worse name by not staying inside. Set an example. Mix yourself some drinks, learn a few recipes you can show off later, or workout so that after we all come out of hiding- you'll look better than everyone around.
However pretentious that sounds, it's a real self-esteem booster to be told you look great.
We've been conditioned since childhood to get compliments. I've painted this (horrible circled sun with sunglasses over a green grass plane with the same two square, triangle rooftop house you've seen over and over again) for you, Mommy. Is it good? Oh, I'm glad you like it!
There are other great reasons to stay inside... and it's pretty outrageous but try to stay with me. Stay inside so that you either don't catch the virus and possibly rack up those medical bills OR catch it, show no symptoms, and give it to your parents or grandparents or aunts and uncles or young nieces and nephews. Who then will pass it on again.
Basically, STAY INSIDE to STAY ALIVE.
Catchy slogan? I think so too.
