yeah i got a taste of this in 2020. i guess a lot of us did. but me, probably more than most. i was in LA and my people were in SF. so i was just alone in my apartment for like 6 months.
i had internet. i had phone. i would go to costco every so often. i would walk in the park. basically i had a ton of stuff from the list. and i wasn't in a basement. and it was only 6 months. and it was brutal. im still recovering from it, 2 years later.
makes me think of solitary confinement in prisons. absolutely it's torture. i would probably lose my mind in just a few days.
