The QuaranTEENS

We are already one day after the end of lockdown, but I still didn’t go out yesterday. I think it’s stupid to go out even if the confinement is over. I find it very irresponsible to go outside as if nothing had happened, just because we’re more confined doesn’t mean the virus is gone. For my part, I personally will make sure not to exceed the limit, that is to say I think I go out about two or three times a week with my mask of course. But I find that mentally it’s already good to think that if you’re more confined, it proves that the mortality rate is already much lower than at the beginning, so personally it was a huge relief to know that. For example, today I went shopping and I really noticed that there were a lot of people outside, which is understandable in real life because people are tired of staying at home but it’s still irresponsible to go outside like that without a mask or anything, we were the only ones wearing masks with my father and we found it really shocking.After shopping we went for a little walk by the lake and morally it felt good to see that people were smiling and happy and that everything was as if nothing had happened, even though deep down we know that danger is still present throughout the world, I hope that everything will be sorted out as soon as possible.

We’ve been in confinement for a long, long time now. The confinement hasn’t brought me much because apart from watching TV shows, doing sports and cooking, I don’t do anything at all except homework. But confinement made me realize how valuable my best friends were to me…I missed going out with them, eating with them, going to the movies with them and doing many activities together. I think the thing that I missed the most and that saddens me the most is not being able to eat out because I love fast food.I think I’m really getting depressed because I don’t go out of my room having in mind that it wouldn’t do any good to walk around inside the house it doesn’t make me want to leave my room i.e. my bedroom. I could notice the importance of going outside because I really miss even the forest, walking around… What can be seen as an advantage is the fact that I cook a lot I knew I could cook but not as much I find that I make good recipes almost every day even if I don’t do it out of envy but out of boredom it doesn’t matter at least it passes the time. But knowing that on May 11th I could finally get out of my house by respecting the limit, i.e. at most 100 km from my house, reassures me a little even if we have to wear this mask yes because I hate it I feel like it’s suffocating us and we can’t even breathe properly. Anyway, I just hope I have nightmares and wake up as soon as possible.

We’ve now been confined for several days and I’m really over it. I know that this is necessary in order to reduce the rate of contaminated people in France but it is really complicated for me not to go outside, to see my friends and especially to enjoy the good weather.I think that like everybody I don’t do extremely interesting things I go to bed very late and get up very late then I eat I do my homework I watch a show and really if I get bored I do sports.

Being confined is really atrocious because for example our working method has completely changed I feel overwhelmed with work we have all the time a lot of things to do it requires a lot of responsibility but I do it because I don’t want to be late.The positive point is that I enjoy it a lot with my family, we play a lot of board games together and it’s a very pleasant atmosphere because we laugh and have fun.

It gives me great pleasure to hear the applause at 8 p.m. It shows us that even in a very difficult time to survive, that is to say locked in the house, we unite to please the workers like the doctors or those who work in the supermarkets who fight for us and that is why we must stay at home because if they take the risk of leaving their house in the middle of a virus, it is for the good of the people.
