The Young Witch Requests New Netflix recommendations

Dearest Void, my one true friend, please save me from myself. I have become bored and am in desperate need of something new to watch in the baking, supernatural horror, true crime or quirky, not too awkward, comedy to entertain myself and keep from finally finishing the worst romance novel I have ever read (which I will not name to save you from reading it as well).

City Year San Jose had its Spring Break last week, which meant I had literally nothing to do. I could have baked but I don't feel like getting yelled at by my app for over eating. I could have cleaned, but my roommate and I had that all done for the most part by Monday. I could have read (I read a lot actually), but I would like my mommy to still buy me books, and she threatens not to every time I finish one in a day. I could keep cross stitching, but there something about finding the will to reach over to the floor next to my bed, where my cross stitch supply is, that I just can't seem to find. I've even lost interest in reading fanfiction. FANFICTION. Anyone who know me, knows there is something wrong at that point.

Ah, yes. I've begun to hit something that feels like the end of summer break when all you want to do is go back to school, because then, then you would have something to do! Something that does not include the nagging of your parents to clean your room for the millionth time.

So I'm stuck in a rut. Something I think a lot of us are at in this point if you are not an essential worker. We are trapped in our homes (WHERE WE SHOULD BE ALL YA GOSHDARN PROTESTERS) and it's week 1 thousand million ninety nine (not a real number, but it should be) and we're starting to to just be unsure of where we're at and what we need to do.

For a lot of us, though, it feels like we should. We always have something we need to do, something to catch up on, something we should be improving. There reaches a point though (a point I feel like I'm beyond) where you lose the will to do any of these things because you've done them already, or you've caught up, or you're just out of it.

And that's okay.

We're living through a scary time. We're not sure what's happening and when things are going to end. Our leaders are not really helping or giving answers. That causes a lot of stress and anxiety which can lead to a great feelings of depression.

But it's okay.

This is normal. It's okay to not be in the mood to do the things you like or want. It's okay that you don't know what to do. It's okay that everything might feel a little too much. It's okay, because so many people are going through it too.

So reach out. Talk about it. We're going through this traumatic situation together, and if we stick together, hopefully, we can come through better on the other side.

But like also....please send me the Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu/Disney Plus recommendations, because my current amount of sanity is hanging on by a string.
