I normally go. Now I decided to stay. Home. 

I always have it all planned. I plan the future and I sometimes forget to enjoy the present. I am always looking for a new place to visit or a new experience to live. I am curious. I just am not the kind of person that can settle for too long. 

But right now it's different.

I love to travel, to go to the beach, to sightsee, and I love happy-hours with friends. 

However, 

I am terribly disappointed at those of you who continue to take this situation lightly. 

Schools being closed is not a free pass for you to go to the beach or hang out with your friends. 

If the club is closed, it does not mean you can throw a party at your house. 

And being young does not make you immune to the virus. 

Your travels, your happy hours, and your classes can be postponed. The life of a loved one cannot. 

Please be smart about it. Stay home for yourself and others. If you have friends and family that still joke about it or do not take it seriously, please have a discussion.

You are asked to stay home, not to go to war. Read a book, take an online course, paint, draw, make art, play games with your family, watch a movie, learn a new language, write a journal, call your friends, clean up your room, try new recipes in the kitchen, plan the future, work on your weaknesses, work out, reflect upon all those little things you always take from granted... and be kinder in the future, to yourself and to others. 

Do the right thing, and be safe.

Until next time,
Cris
