| TREATS TO IMPROVE YOUR MOOD IN THE TIMES OF ISOLATION |
It took me a month to get used to working remotely, to grasp the concept of self-isolation, and to overcome the unbearable writer's block. I had to find my way to adapt to the new situation. For the first time since university, I am back at my parents' house not knowing how long it will take me to return to my apartment, travel abroad, or resume my regular daily routines. The only comfort is the fact that most of the world wakes up and goes to sleep with the same set of questions in their mind.
After four weeks, I know what keeps me hopeful and optimistic at least most days of the week. It is looking for inspiration, trying to stay resourceful and creative, admiring the creativity of others, and finding things I like wherever it is possible to find them. I gave up on reading novels with an epidemic in the title. I avoid watching movies that bring me down. What works for me does not necessarily have to work for you, but maybe you find it interesting, fun, and distracting. That will make me happy.

Watching:
RUN on HBO
When I heard that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was the executive producer of this new show, I immediately put it on my list. If you still have a crush on the boy you met at the university and you have dreams of leaving your life behind just to spend carefree 24h with him, this show will definitely be your cup of tea.
