Ever since I have been stuck in self-isolation, I have kept myself distracted, either by reading, playing video games, watching something or sleeping. But I am realizing that I am getting bored of doing that. Now that I am doing nothing, I am starting to feel alone. Very alone.
The only people I have seen are the nurses. And the only people I have spoken to are my mother, paternal grandmother and the nurses. Not many people know whats going on or where I am. I can’t my family back home because then they would be extremely worried about me, and I can’t rant online because it gets back to my family. I feel like I am living a double life pretending that everything is normal when it isn’t.
I am tired and I am tired of being alone. Thankfully, I am almost to the end. Only one more day here and I get to leave on Wednesday.
Tonight, one of the nurses said bye to me because she’s not working tomorrow night and I’ll be gone on Wednesday. It was the sweetest thing.
