Sorry you’re going through this, but I don’t think you are feeling what we have all felt. I think this is something different. I may have been quarantined, others may be stuck in an apartment but they can open a window or go for a socially distanced walk outside. You cannot. That’s rough. That’s real isolation. Isolation from the sun, the earth. These are the things that are getting most of us through this. There’s a reason you can’t buy a tent or bike these days without a wait. Many people are getting their sanity through connection to the natural world. You can’t do that. That’s rough, pal. Hang in there. Write that novel! Record that song! Watch all 100 of TIME Magazines top films in alphabetic order. Godspeed. Stay safe!
You make excellent points, of course. It's a little hard to see the sun when you are under the metaphorical (and actual) cloud layer... :-) It's the apathy that is most surprising to me. I could be writing/recording music. I could be reading. I could be working on any number of books and screenplays I have in the works. I could continue removing all the old HVAC ducting for our old forced-air heating system we replaced... two years ago. There's plenty to do, and lots of interesting projects... but lifting a finger is SO HARD...
