![]() If you don’t already have a list going, sites like Goodreads have plenty of user-generated lists of anticipated 2020 releases. ![]() The same goes for books you can’t wait to read. Keep an eye on your chosen streaming service’s social media and website (or google “coming soon to Netflix/Hulu/whatever” if you’re lazy like me) to find shows and movies you love so you can start counting the days. I know the pandemic threw a wrench in a lot of planned programming (is anyone else low-key cranky about the abrupt season finale on Grey’s Anatomy?), but at least with streaming, there’s always a steady stream (haha) of things in the pipeline. Put upcoming TV, movie, and book releases on your calendar. They’re not a replacement for the things we lost, but for now they’ll have to do. So in case it helps you too, here are just a few ways I’ve been cultivating the feeling of having something to look forward to despite being stuck alone in my apartment for the foreseeable future. In the absence of being able to look forward to things with certainty, the best we can do is create small pockets of future hope in the meantime. Limbo isn’t exactly a place for our mental health to thrive. Hell, even weekends have lost their power as an end-of-the-week treat with how days are bleeding together into one large blob of sameness. Events, vacations, career moves, life changes? More or less on hold. Social isolation means there are no happy hours, no birthday parties, no movie dates on the horizon. We’ve lost our ability to plan our lives in big and little ways. The way things are now, the future is uncertain. Whatever it was, it was making my depression feel deeper, my anxiety more tightly wound, and my general existential dread heavier, and I couldn’t figure out why.Ī few weeks ago I realized what it was: I didn’t have anything to look forward to anymore. But even as I began to think I had a handle on the wide spectrum of emotions I was going through-from grieving normalcy to grappling with loneliness-there was still something I couldn’t pinpoint hanging out in the pit of my stomach. "We are still there, we are still fighting and we will fight until the end.There are so many aspects of life amid the new coronavirus pandemic now eroding our mental health that I doubt you need me to enumerate them all. We dropped a little bit of our level and focus, this is the Premier League, it is so difficult to win this competition. Obviously we are not happy with the last three games, we dropped points and we know this is true, no one has to tell us. Sometimes we do right and sometimes we do wrong, everyone can make mistakes that is why it is so important to stick together. "We are the youngest team in the league, not making excuses. Manchester City have two games in hand but if we want to be champions we have to go there to win the game - that is all. We still have a lot of things to do this season, it is not over, we are still five points clear. It is time now to stick together until the end. ![]() We don't want to come here and talk negative because we are very positive, what we are doing this season is amazing. We need the momentum."Īrsenal forward Gabriel Jesus, speaking to Sky Sports: "A lot of things is going on now. "We have been feeling that it is there we didn't get what we wanted in the game and last three games we have done really good I think we need that to show what we can do it. I told them they did a fantastic job and we need to continue." ![]() For me it also two points dropped, but it is very hard here. "That's two points dropped, but from me we showed something. "I have some characters, they are working together and they are coaching together, so this is the level we have." "Well he always wants to play and alway be on the pitch, of course he is a competitive and he wants to play in the game. "We always prepare games to win the matches and against City and Arsenal as it is very difficult for us, we always analyse the performance and we need to be a lot more energetic." "Carlos Alcarez has his yellow card and with any high pressure moment he could get another second yellow, we decided to go with more players in there. "We showed character and we showed what we can do we are proud of the work ethic and that is the way we need to follow from now. Southampton boss Ruben Selles speaking to Sky Sports after the game: "I think from the very beginning we showed we are going to press high and sometimes it is hard to play against teams such as Arsenal and City as they have quality.
