A gentle reminder

Lockdown is hard for everybody. If you are one of the riskier few that like to break some rules, you have better keep quiet about it on social media. Curtains are twitching, people are ratting on each other left and right. Police raids on homes with slightly loud music. Sneaking from house to house in the back of an Uber. Memories of the lockdown will be rose-tinted for a lot of people. But god if it isn’t boring. Twiddling your thumbs, looking for something to do which isn’t drinking a taster crate of micro-brewery beer you’ve signed up for online. Playing through every possible game you own. Setting up an online side hustle. Pretending to work most of the day until your boss puts mouse-tracking software on your work laptop.

Lockdown is fucking boring. Alcohol, drugs, and sneaky AF parties are the only remedy to prevent mental decline.

To take your medicine

Relationships fleeting, friends the new family

New faces hard to come by, joy a gasp for air

Hangovers feel pointless unless the misery is shared

Fun hard to find when you’re locked inside

Locked inside with your mind

Too cold to leave and too draining to stay

The answer? Drink wine and find a liked mind to shine

Take your medicine

Don’t do drugs kids, but if you do, don’t do them alone.
