What's on your mind after quarantine?

we may not be able to go to the coffee shops, but the clouds will come to us

We’re all feeling strange?

So everyone’s going through this weird time together. Everyone’s got things that slowed down or changed whether work, school, location or whatever. It’s all very weird. Although no one wants this to last forever I hope people have the sense to not open up and loosen the quarantine restrictions just yet. I think there’s plenty more we need, like more testing kits for example, that we need before starting to open up again.

What do you want to do after?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have a huge list of places I want to go and people I want to see once things get safely back to what they were like.

I want to get to Brooking’s, Oregon; San Francisco; Back to my Boise People; and plenty more. There’s plenty of people I want to catch up with (although I don’t know what all there will be to get caught up on). Of course there is more of a pressing motivation to push further in film. I love wood burning and the support I’ve been getting from it, but as most of you know, It’s not my end goal. I love my family, but being on the same property as them for an extended period of time, is not ideal for the future.

A lot of you know I travel a lot and didn’t have plans to stay in one area for too long. Reflecting during this quarantine does make me think that setting a foundation in another city that is more aligned with creative communities and careers. The more I stay home the more excited I get planning on moving to a new city for more than just two weeks at a time. I think the most exciting part is the ability to focus the energy I would on traveling and planning every two weeks into settling into more work in one area.

Who know's though, this will all change probably. The people that know me best know I can’t make my mind up. So for now I’m really looking forward to uprooting and making something creative and big in another area. As much as I will do my best to bring things back to my community, right now I’m a little stir crazy.

What do you want to do?

The big thing next I want to ask is what you want to do next? Comment on here, post it or message me what your plans are. If you haven’t thought too much on it yet take some time after reading this to think and plan what your first step will be after quarantine. Make it something that will really push you to a dream. Everyone will be picking things back up, so what will you do to push a little further than others?

Then, the hard part is keeping yourself accountable once you figure that out.
