Freefalling
I woke up to a text from my best friend, whose boyfriend's, friend of a friend, with connections to the higher-ups, said that they heard there’s been talk amongst the city council of a lockdown. Still, it seemed very unlikely to me. Even with no toilet paper on the shelves and news reports of lockdowns happening everywhere else in the world. So when it did happen, the curfew, the lockdowns, the job closing, the government assistance, besides it all feeling slightly dystopian I have to admit, It was incredible. Ever since I got my first job at Butterball turkey factory, I longed for the day when I would get a fucking break. Not a two-day break. Not a week off. But an actual break from the rat race of capitalism. This life of working to earn just enough money to survive and maybe show my friends and family that I’m not a total failure. My dad always said the only way it was possible was by graduating from college and getting a ‘good job’. Working at my latest soul-sucking job- the fanciest restaurant/club in town, however, gave way to me meeting enough CEOs and wealthy humans that had never seen a degree. It gave me the push I needed to drop out of college. Don’t get me wrong I tried and tried and wanted so badly for it to work, to make my parents proud but it just wasn't me.

Moving to Việt Nam during a pandemic: Chapter 1, 26 November 2021
Viet Nam takes quarantine and the Covid-19 pandemic very seriously indeed. I'm sure they would be shocked to see the way Britain and mainland European countries have relaxed their rules on social distancing while the pandemic still rages on. Of course Asia experienced the devastation caused by SARS more than a decade ago, and I'm sure the geographical proximity and strong connections Viet Nam has to China, and to Wuhan, means it is front of mind for many people. And a good thing too.

Erased Freedom
Escape Route I lay back in my bed. I picture the beach, the blue sky, and the sound of the crashing waves as they landed on too the shore. The trickle of water as it rolled over my feet. The sun shone down around me and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. All the tension that was inside me earlier slowly goes away. I looked across at the neighboring beach. People were casually strolling along without a care in the world. Kids were building sandcastles and fishing off the wharf, having the time of their lives. Boats headed out the sea to make the most of the beautiful summer's day.

A Spartan for Life (Travel from Home #17)
I’m not sure why Greece didn’t make my first list of potential counties to which to travel. My high school mascot was a Spartan, so Greece deserved to be more than an afterthought. Luckily, it came up in a discussion I had with a friend, and she thrust a book from Greece upon me to read. So I decided to make it my travel from home destination for November 2021.
