Oops, I’m a bit late writing this! The truth is, I’ve just been so busy! Bizarrely, I seem to be even busier in lockdown than I usually am. While I’ve noticed a lot of people on social media being bored, I’m finding all sorts of things to do. I’m still finding that giving myself a list of tasks to complete each day is helping to keep me a sense of purpose. It would be so easy to just flop around and fall into a state of depression, but I’m determined to keep a good state of mental health. These are challenging times, so I need to do what I can to keep afloat. I guess we all do, in one way or another.
