Here, alone in my silence, I feel my mind quieting down, and I'm able to realize what's really essential to me. I hate chatting through a screen, so I'm not taking part in the virtual meetings which are more common each day. That makes me recognize I miss live conversations, inviting friends over, going out to the bar or for a walk in a park. The same for dating. Many people are proposing dance classes and other physical exercises online, but I just can't do it. I miss the classroom and other people's energy when exercising. I can't just walk along the streets either, so my anxiety is increasing. I'm teaching my students through Skype, and I find myself getting grumpy when the class times approach. I miss the flow of a live class; the virtual environment does not match it. When I go to the supermarket, I like to spend time just checking new stuff. Now I have to be objective and quick. I'm very melancholy some days, but I can't go to the beach to clear my mind. I can't go anywhere to be close to nature. I love dressing up, but now there's no reason to do it. I need to start taking course so my mind remains active, but I don't have the discipline to do online courses. I'm spending my time between movies, TV series and reading.
