2020: The Year of Boredom
When the pandemic first began in March, a lot of us took up new hobbies, binge watched everything worth watching on Netflix, and purged our closets. There were even check-lists coming out with “What to Do in Isolation“
However, as weeks turned into months and fall greeted us… Boredom set in quickly. The excitement of learning how to bake, sculpt clay, and colour coordinate a closet has faded. Here I have compiled a short list of the things that I currently find entertaining:
- Going to work
- Dr’s office visits
- Buying new socks
- Looking at photos of me having fun
- Sorting my PJ drawer
- My drive to work
- Watching my dog sleep
- Watching my cat sleep
- And, you guessed it! Sleeping.
“Find Joy in The Little Things”
One common thing I hear people saying to me is “my biggest adventure is going to get groceries“
Well, personally, it is still a task I do not enjoy. But that got me thinking, is there entertainment to be found while buying my monthly supplies? Are there elements I’m not seeing while I’m there?
In my twitter thread, you will become a “fly on the wall” as I set out to change the way we all see grocery shopping, forever.
You’ll find yourself asking:
- Would I rather be watched, or watch?
- Will my relationship survive 2020?
- Should I drink before ubering to Costco?
- Why can’t everyone wear their masks properly?
- What is MY favourite cheese?
I hope you all enjoy where my strange mind takes me during these equally strange times. Please note, this story is 100% fictional and made purely for fun, suspense and to demonstrate how a good story can be told on twitter.
If you’ve enjoyed the read, I’d love it if you follow me here, as well on my twitter. Now, with much delay, here is the link to my original thread:
