Start a business. Love my family. Hang out with friends. Write a letter. Solve all the problems of the world. Plant a garden. Take up a hobby that doesn't involve Netflix and a bag of chips.

Today begins week 7 of quarantine. I feel...good. Today feels hopeful, like I've been running through fog and clarity is emerging.
