We’re Soothing Our Quarantine Blues with These ‘Mentally I’m Here’ Tweets
Aug 27, 2020 • Ina Louise Manto
W’ve found plenty of ways to cope after all these months of quarantine. Some enjoy baking, binge-watching shows, writing on journals, or simply going on Twitter for a dose of all things weird and funny. Physically we’re at home trying our best to focus at work or school but mentally, where are we, really? Check out these hilarious ‘mentally I’m here’ tweets and find which one you can relate with the most:

When countries worldwide began closing their borders for the quarantine in March, we all thought that it was going to be a two-month conundrum. But lo and behold, we’ve got 4 months of the year left. And honestly, same. It still feels like it’s just the beginning of quarantine.

Everyone just wants to be in a magical land like Far, Far, Away, and go on adventures with Shrek and Donkey.
Window shopping in Muji

Do you also go to Muji to window shop and smell their store or are you normal? Kidding aside, if you’ve been missing your usual trips to the aesthetic AF Japanese store, they’re now offering home delivery around Metro Manila.

Oh to be a kid again discovering games on your old Windows PC like Purble Place. I wish making cakes is just as easy in real life.

With everything that’s going on right now, who wouldn’t feel like they’re constantly hitting rock bottom?

Nothing can be more relaxing than dipping your toes in the warm sea. Just standing there, enjoying the breeze and sound of the waves. Can I be this cow?

Concerts are one of the best experiences you’ll ever have: a night of finally seeing your favorite artist IRL and sharing the same space with people who love them. You can scream your lungs out or even cry and no one would judge. The question is, when are we going to experience them again? The UK just had its first socially-distanced concert and this might become the future of live music.

They just don’t make stop motion films as perfect as Coraline anymore. I wish it’s just as easy to find another world where everything seems right…
