quarantined and afraid

Quarantined and Afraid. Get it? Like that TV show Naked and Afraid? Okay, never mind.

I say quarantined and afraid because I have been quarantined in my home with my mother and her fairly new boyfriend. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with Michael. He’s an alright guy. But, he’s very different than my dad.

For example, my dad is all about piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, the whole nine yards. Michael, however, is very against all of that. I have my nose pierced at the moment and I plan on getting more very soon, and he hates it so much, it’s honestly kind of funny.

Another difference I have noticed is that my mom and I love music very much. It’s a huge part of our lives. Michael, however, prefers movies and such. He’s not really a music guy at all.

I’ve officially known Michael as my mom’s boyfriend for almost a year now. He recently moved in with us. It’s been a lot of fun. He’s been helping us renovate our house and paint the walls that have had awful wallpaper on them since I can remember.

We’ve been out of school for a month now, and I realize now how much I took MSA for granted. I would give almost anything to be back. Since I’ve been home, I’ve absolutely ruined my sleep schedule. I’m writing this blog at 8AM on April 6th, and I still haven’t slept. I need school to have some sort of routine because at this point, everything just feels off.

Anyway, I’ll keep y’all updated on my sanity (or lack thereof at this point).

Peace out, girl scout 🙂

  1. Thank you for sharing about your quarantine experiences because I found it interesting and kind of funny. Your nose ring is nice, by the way. And how does someone resist a music addiction? Blasphemy. I am glad that you are doing well and saying peace out to wallpaper. And I am realizing how much I take MSA for granted as well. I would love to be back to have at least some schedule. And have we really been out for a month? Wow. I miss seeing you everyday, and I hope that there is some possibility the literaries will be together soon. Thank you for your blog, and I hope you can find some sanity and order.

  2. I miss MSA so much too, it feels like it has been years since I’ve stepped on that sacred ground. I miss it! I used to walk out in nature, be able to do many things, hang out with my friends, but that has all been taken away.
