Don’t Touch Me!

Day 146 and counting of COVID-19 and I haven’t been able to touch one single human…well besides myself, but that’s a whole nother story!  I don’t know about you, but my mood has been going up and down, up and down, and I can’t even begin to see straight.  Everything about what is going on in the world just doesn’t seem real!  Having to adjust to a new normal.  Adjust to the fact that I have been restricted to the confinements in which are these four walls.  To the inrovert inside of me, this seems ideal.  But to the introvert inside of me that likes to go to tea shops and watch people, go shopping to contribute to my many habits, and to go to the gym at least four times a week… this shit has been hard!  I will try not to complain, but we all have our own internal struggles when it comes to all this.

Another struggle that I have been experiencing is when it comes to this whole “Quarantine & Chill” situation.  Y’all really thought I was going to be all factual about COVID in this blog?  My confidently awkward peeps… y’all know me better than that.  I’m about to give you the real tea about what’s going on behind the scenes of COVID-19 and this whole topic of “Quarantine & Chill.”  So about a few months ago I signed up for this dating site.  Mind you there was no COVID-19 at this time and it was socially acceptable to actually go on dates, give someone a hug, and potentially go on more dates.  I had the pleasure of doing this a few times.  Then BAM, COVID-19 slowly crept up on all of us!  As I began my quarantining at home, I got bored, like most of us have been, and started spending my nights swiping left, swiping right.  As I continued to talk to different people, I had an epiphany about what dating would look like moving forward and I was the least bit excited for this journey.

As I began to match with people and we exchanged pleasantries, I began to notice that these guys were definitely trying to “Quarantine & Chill” with me.  One guy I was gaining a connection with, kept bringing up meeting up and my response was that of “oh yeah for sure, how about we wait until we are cleared from this COVID-19 stuff!” That individual disappeared.  Then another guy came along and we did the normal greeting, then it came to the point where he was like, “I really wanna meet you, I know what’s going on right now, but I like you!”  Excuse me sure… you have known me for about two paragraphs long, I highly doubt that you like me.  Then it came down to me changing my bio to “I don’t want to Quarantine & Chill!  Stay safe folks!”  I know some people think that we are blowing this whole COVID-19 stuff out of proportion, but we need to do our duty in making sure we lower the curve.  Am I right?!

As days went on, I became conflicted about this whole staying away from people.  I’m the type of person that doesn’t need human interaction, but a cuddle here and there, a kiss on the cheek; a simple touch, is all I need.  I hope I’m not alone in saying that it has crossed my mind to act upon having someone come over to just “hangout” for a few hours.  Then I’m left with the whole, “damn I’m gona get sick” or “you should have listened to your friends.”  But we are all adults and sometimes we do have needs.  I’m not knocking anyone who has made that midnight “booty call” or is currently in the process of making that “booty call.”  We honestly don’t know how much longer we have with COVID-19 and “Quarantine & Chill” isn’t looking half bad.  I mean I’ve been taking my Vitamins, using hand sanitizer!  If there is anything else I forgot (please insert here)!

We are all in the same boat of figuring things out.  My mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health are all being tested at this time.  I challenge you all to pick a side when it comes to COVID-19 and/or “Quarantine & Chill.”  The next 30 days aren’t going to be easy, but do what you have to do to make sure you come out in the end, a stronger human than before this all started.  Start that blog, that podcast, that business plan that has been sitting on your desk for the past few months.  Remember, we are in this together.  But until then… DON’T TOUCH ME, until we can meet again!

This is a safe, fun, and nonjudgmental space… use it for those purposes!

But until next time peeps continue to be CONFIDENTLY AWKWARD… UNAPOLOGETICALLY that is!!!
