A two week group journaling experiment

When the world gets nuts, the nuts get creative.

In late March, as Covid gobbled up the safety of the outside world, most of us entered into an uneasy partnership with quarantine. From our perspective, it seemed the universe doubled down on its project of going full-out bonkers. We were cooped up, stir-crazy, and looking for creative ways to process all of it.

We felt the only sensible thing to do in this situation was to pull together a small group of pals to journal about our individual experience of lockdown. Over the next two weeks we produced over 100 entries as a group. The result of this experiment is a fascinating and intimate look into daily life in the early days of quarantine. We've selected some of the more interesting entries and are happy to present them here for your reading pleasure.
