Social Distancing #39

Paris, France, April, 2020 .

“In Paris we've been in isolation for 4 weeks now. I'm staying with my drag mother at a friend's house while he's away.

Of course I would like it to be over, because I miss seeing my family and doing drag. Drag is my only source of income, so it's difficult.
But at the same time, being forced to take a break is good for me. Besides drag, I go to college for biology, and I work on several other projects, and this lifestyle is exhausting. I barely sleep 5hours a day.
Nowadays I'm able to sleep as much as I need, and just watch cool movies without worrying about any deadlines, which I haven't done in a couple of years.
We're not very productive but I think self-care is as important as productivity and we don't have to make something important every day.

I feel lucky to be in isolation with someone I get along with so well, I know it's not the case for everyone. We've been trying a lot of new makeup looks and cooking feel-good meals.

I don't know what's going to happen after all this is over, I try not to think about it but I'm not really optimistic seeing our government.
I'm also scared because it took me years to adapt to the "outside world" because I'm not too good with all the noise, people, lights and stimulations, and I'm afraid I am going to have to learn to deal with it again.” - Morphine
