If we want to have more fun in our lives, perhaps we should spend more time alone. Being in quarantine has given us a unique opportunity to reevaluate the way we live. When we’re stuck in the bustle of day-to-day life, it can be easy to fool ourselves into complacency. We’re able to drag along much more baggage—career worries, body image, anxiety, etc.—because we have lots to distract us. Now that the world has been placed on “pause,” it’s harder to distract ourselves from those problems. We must learn to be happy without the need for distraction, and our lives will be all the better for it.
