This Is House Arrest
I’ve been stuck in the house for over a year now, and it’s been the best form of house arrest I could ask for. Albeit me losing my mind is a trade off, the benefit of having to force yourself into solitude is surprisingly peaceful. I’ve learned to embrace being stuck in this box. To some, our homes are the worse prison. You’re so close to being in contact with the outside world, but the barriers of the arrest have depleted any real hope. Hope gets lost as idleness continues to be found within these artificial boundaries. I beg you to challenge yourself to accept these walls as only ideals and outside as only a projection of what you consider paradise. Once the acceptance is over, you can release yourself from the ankle monitor of arrest and breathe new life. Paradise is whatever you make it. My bar cart is mine currently. Welcome, friend.
Music inspired me to talk about the concept of house arrest.
