Stagnant
by Marc

Imagine a time in your life when things seemed stale and nothing, and I mean nothing, felt the same. That feeling, that touch, that taste, and that look. It is the same thing over and over again. It takes the color out of your favorite shirt, takes the fizz out of your soda, and takes the flavor out of your family's cooked meals. All of those descriptions sum up one feeling you probably have felt during the pandemic. That feeling is stagnance. A quick Google search defines Stagnance as, “showing no activity; dull and sluggish.” In my opinion, I have not been the same. I am somewhat bothered by how there is nothing more to do than watch television, play on my xbox, or video chat friends from school. The screams from my stomach craving soul food from my grandma are no more than feeble. I would describe my normal during the quarantine as Stagnant. To combat being Stagnant, you have to get out of the slump! What I done is find things that I am interested in and dive into it. Give yourself projects to do around the house. Paint the bathroom a different color. Rearrange the living room, or simply pick up a new hobby that could last a lifetime.

P.S. You’re not alone
