Coronavirus - An Audio Journal

Canada has closed its border to the US, Italy has a record number of deaths in one day, and the most unfortunate news comes from 'spring breakers' in Florida who are experiencing the harsh reality of their party plans are being derailed (insert eye-roll).

Things are feeling heavy. The reality of a serious NYC lockdown is looking more and more likely. My friends are asking how I'm feeling, and the main emotion I have right now, is anger. I'm trying my best to balance those feelings out by putting the same amount of energy and attention towards self care, but I'd be lying to myself (and anyone listening) if I didn't admit how hard that feels right now. 

Feels like 3% of my mental health is starting to deteriorate so I want to spend most of this episode focusing on how to pre-plan moments of joy over the coming days/weeks/months.

Audio journal for Sunday, March 15.  I went on a bike ride to central park, watched a pianist play in Washington Square Park (keeping 6ft distance from others, of course), and was rattled by the music coming from a local bar.

daily audio journal. This is not fact checked, I just think it might be interesting to have audio records of day to day changes
