Celebrity Worship

I used to think that the problem with celebrity worship was primarily the celebrity part, but over the years I've come to feel that there's an issue with elevating any one person too high in one's esteem.  And I think the biggest problem with this is how it tends to cause people to devalue anyone who doesn't occupy this category of 'exceptional individuals' in their mind.

I Want Out

I think the stuck inside aspect of self-quarantining is really starting to get to me.  I was really used to being outside a lot, but it's also easier for me to get myself to do something like go outside if it's to accomplish a task.  But I try to avoid going out these days for tasks if at all possible.  Also I always feel apprehension if I go outside without a mask these days even though my understanding is that outside is much lower risk than indoors.  Part of it is that it is sometimes hard for me to avoid people given the terrain in certain areas near where I live.  Like even when I go outdoors these days I feel so restricted and confined.  Also anxious.

The good news is I've been slowly adapting to getting more exercise indoors, so hopefully that will continue to improve so my muscles don't completely atrophy haha.
