Personal Effect of COVID-19

 The largest influence that COVID-19 has placed on me is that of having more time for introspection while  self-quarantining.

While self-quarantining I have more time to "philosophize", ponder, and rationalize.

What it leads me to is more time to explore channels of thought I wouldn't have taken the time to explore.

Having slowed down a little from the hectic pace, I have more space to listen to my own stream of usually quieted or ignored visions.

I like the me that is emerging from all this. I'm more able to respond naturally to the stuff that bubbles to my surface. While it is a little off-putting, it is at the same time interesting.

I've spent most of my life walking a deeply furrowed track I made. Mostly from fear of the unknown, largely from the lack of exercising my creativity muscle. Not living to a fuller experience.

Right now, if I had the money, I would be a World traveller. I find myself craving adventure and different inputs that only completely new surroundings would supply. A life I'd find too foreign for my low-key every-day self.

There's someone trying to get out. Someone I know but have never allowed to surface. I can only hope. and try and coax a little harder out to the light of day.

What an interesting life I am able to live if I only push to let it manifest.
