I had assignment in my yearbook class, the question is who/what has helped you during quarantine? I feel like us people don't tend to realize what a person may be going through at moments. I guess this post is to state something positive. Plus I find it interesting in the ways people cope during such a difficult time. IGN: Gothichic Response: I guess I personally would say that music has helped me through quarantine. I feel like music has always been a way of coping with life in my personal experience. I guess that's why I've been so eager to learn new instruments. In a way I feel like music can not only be a good way to describe a person but also to bring a bigger message. What about youu!!
Didn't really have a 'quarantine' in NZ but... Staying in touch with other people really helped me keep a sense of normality.
For me around the first week of March, my government called an "early spring break" which would be 2 weeks then online school for 2 weeks which could be extended. So ever since March till now I've been doing online school and until June there was strict curfew which used to be 8 pm which got changed to 10 pm later on. Overall I'm happy with what my government has done to contain the virus to the most of their ability especially my local government as they've enforced the strongest restrictions compared to any other Emirate in the country. Some new laws at least in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi are mandatory masks, no more than 3 people in a car unless they're your family members etc. The UAE has also conducted one of the most tests per capita with all the other countries being either island nations or micronations. If anything I just feel privileged that my government is taking this pandemic seriously. But finally answering your question, something that helped me during quarantine is probably Skyblock season 10 reset if I'm being completely honest since it allowed me to pass time and just have a good time so I kind of escape the reality of not being able to do much IRL. I'm really intrigued by how the quarantine situation has been in other countries if you'd let me know I'd be really happy! :)
Hey, Gothichic ! Im glad music had helped you through quarantine. I as well listen to a lot of music and I can say that it also helped me through quarantine. When my quarantine started I actually had my phone taken away so I had a lot of things to do besides be on my phone. I thought not having a phone at first was horrible and it was but I learned to look at life differently. Its so weird what technology can really do nowadays. I would go on walks more and look at nature, which you might find weird but I love admiring the earth. I also would read you might find that so lame but I tend to like reading books about mysteries they're actually fun! I would also draw, listening to music and just draw and draw. So many things has helped me get through quarantine and I feel like everyone has their own way of being sane during quarantine since nobody was really used to this whole thing. I love how you brought up this as well, this a great way to talk to the mcc community and get to know more people !!! I love it :D Have a good day/night ! <3
Hey there goth! Quarantine has been a very weird time for everyone. For me, it was just a roller coaster of emotions for me. Whether it was trying to get over a relationship that ended on a bad note or just relaxing and having some free time to myself. I definitely grew as a person while being in my house and tbh I’m thankful for it. It got me into producing music and some more Netflix shows such as Cobra Kai. I did stay in contact with all my friends, and although it was boring for the first month, it really helped me find my roots and who I can be. It’s amazing that you got into music, and I also happened to have yearbook class at the beginning of the year and that was fun. Anyways, that was my 2 cents. Have a great day y’all. <3
heya, since I live in what im told is the "best state in the world" in terms of corona cases and how it was dealt with, we haven't had any restrictions since about May now, however in march when we were in full lockdown, painting really helped me. I would open my window to let the sun in my bedroom, put on some nice relaxing indie music and just paint all day! it really took away from the stress of... idk a global pandemic? and the funny thing is, I used to be so bad at painting, and I only really 'got into it' during quarantine! now I'm still painting and spending my time relaxing making new pieces on my canvases and it's amazing. I was thinking of opening an etsy store, but I'm not too sure about it. anyways, that's what I did during lockdown :) I always hate talking about my state because I don't want to seem like im 'bragging' but fr my state's leader is a real MVP
All that's kept me going is the knowledge that at the end of the day, ill get to play online with people that accept me
Honestly I think for me music has been a major thing for me too. I dont know if there has been a day where I have no listened to music lol. I listen to music every. single. day. And the type of music a person listen to can be a way to tell how the person is and what type of person it is. Cause if a person listens to like, christian music then that person is probably a Christian maybe. And people who listen to rap and rock music is probably the type of person who acts cool and all. Now ofc I dont know if this is all true, this is just my opinion. And just so ya know, in my advice, every single opportunity you can get to be a friend to someone, take that chance, cause as you said, you dont know what that person is going through and that person might just need a good friend by their side. So always take the chance to be that friend, even if its some 8 year old. Cause we are all humans and we all matter. I just felt like saying that lol
I'm not even gonna lie, at first just writing about my feelings helped me. As I didn't have many games I liked toward the start of quarantine, I wasn't on my computer too much. A few days ago when I got unbanned, just playing and talking to old friends over voice brought me some happiness, but now I'm banned again which is a whole situation that I need to get sorted out.
You should appeal, you might get unbanned or a lesser punishment. Well wish the best for you, and hope you're okay!
Also honestly, My sanity hasn't been helping. Neither my adhd or dyslexyia. but I have tried but a lot of times I am really stressed so talking to other people has been my sanity
I could relate a lot, if you ever need to talk feel free to dm me on discord Gothichic#6666. And I hope and know it will get better for you! Dont lose hope
