So, first of all, I haven't been so active here, but things are changing (again). To those that remember me, I have been travelling / working all around the world for the past three years. I lived in the UK, Italy, China and now, I'm in France and - just like everyone else who is not an 'essential worker' I am self-isolating for nearly a month now. 

I am not used to staying in one place for so long - don't get me wrong I love to curl up at home with a good book or a movie, but I love having the choice to go outside. Right now, I don't have that, and it has been difficult... especially as I am quite far from home. 

But... 

I decided pretty early into this situation that this period of 'calmness' must be for a reason. And so I started studying - every day I practice French (which is tough... but watching TV counts so yay), Mandarin, even Italian... I finally started working out after years of 'not having the time' and I'm even writing again! It's been a whirlwind kind of period in my life where I never knew how to write or what - you could say it was a massive writer's block but it was more than that. And finally, I am giving myself the time to just relax and write when I feel like it. 

Now, I know that there's many of us who are not studying like crazy and I think that's perfectly fine. If we are lucky enough to be safe at home (many people able to work from home, too) then I think it's good to just do whatever. I don't think I have ever watched so much TV in my life! I think as long as we manage to stay somewhat happy during this mess, it's fine :D I will try to write more, get back to some of my old stories, write new ones - it'll be fun for sure :D
