I am not a Van Gogh type of person: I cannot be creative when I am depressed. But<strong> I have tried to do two things consistently</strong> throughout the pandemic:<strong> walk and read. These are the books I am currently reading.</strong> I also read the news everyday but I am trying to break that habit.<strong> I find myself in tears often</strong> - for instance, the<strong> continued assault on black people by racist police</strong>; reading that<strong> 10 people were shot in a supermarket; the attack on Asian Americans.</strong>
