Staying put

Tweet

I have been avoiding the some social media platforms for quite some time now and it's not because of not wanting to interact with people. Mostly, it is to avoid seeing things that are too heartbreaking for me like animals being cooked alive. Amidst the suffering of everybody else in the world, there is something that I kind of like with the shelter in place declaration of the government and it is how everybody can stay put at home and not be everywhere all the time. Places are quieter and we can hear the birds chirping louder instead of the vehicles honking and the engine sounds. It feels like a moment of silence in the big crowd. I just wish we could already say that this is the calm after the storm but we have yet to see.
