I hate Mondays, and this Monday wasn’t the exception. I miss the quarantine. The end of lockdown has been hard on me. I think I became antisocial… Before I go into detail on why this Monday was a hard one, let me tell you how the end of lockdown has been going so far. However, if you follow me on Instagram, you got an idea. Anyways, I think after 2 months home, I became antisocial.I never thought I’ll write this someday, but seeing people STRESSES me out. It drains me.…
