A glass of soju with colleagues after work is a precious pleasure for office workers like me.

The process of going to the billiards or screen golf course in itself doubles the joy of meeting, after bumping into the glasses, laughing, and making a chat.

However, they have not enjoyed that pleasure for a considerable period of time.

The weekend, where I was waiting for my baby, is not much different from my daily life after work.

Because of the corona, I can't have small pleasures such as religious activities, hobbies, attending congratulations and condolences, and traveling for a while.

It's already passed, but for office workers, summer vacations like a'desert oasis' are also destroyed this year.



Because of this, I am depressed and unable to escape from my depressed mood.

Is this...Corona Blue?

It seem to be like that.

After work or on the weekends, they had to forcibly sever social meetings and active hobbies through intense social distancing, so everyone will suffer from depression like withdrawal symptoms.

How could it not be?

Office workers work in the workplace under tremendous stress all day of the week.

That's why I think I should compensate myself for it, so I go out to find a place where I can meet my coworkers after work or on the weekend to change my mood.

But I can't go here either, and I can't go there, and because I have to stay at home, my life will disappear.

(Of course, in terms of'degree', I can't compare



myself

with many people, such as self-employed people who suffer from corona insomnia because of their livelihood.) The

same is true of me.

I've been living for more than two weeks

Living'alone in the house', it was as if he was in the dark evening steppe.

It is a very quiet and boring evening.

After wandering around at home for a few days, I accidentally saw the flowers decorating the living room.

There are only a few flowers in my house, but since they are gathered in one place, when I stand there and look at them, I fell into the illusion of being in a small meadow.

An unknown tree that grew up with my child (it's a treasure at my house), a plant that I bought to commemorate the move to a new apartment, and now I don't know the name, a tree that I got from organizing a young executive office, and the Hong Kong palm tree that my child raised in elementary school (now I raise it), Hana flesh, Congo brought from my mother's house, and Monstera recently received.




Looking closely at them, there weren't one or two interesting things.

A baby cactus that had never existed before was seen in a flowerpot containing a tree of unknown name.

The cactus was the same species as the cactus that had died in our house before, but it's amazing how it took root again here.

The same is true of the tree branch in the pot that looks like a washbasin over there with a large cut of fortune tree.

The branch of the tree has become so messy that the unnamed tree has become so messy that the leaves cut off one of the abundant branches to organize some branches.

But at the time, they couldn't throw it away immediately and put it in the jar for a while to live a little longer. Surprisingly, it took root and sustained life there.



So is the Hong Kong palm tree.

Normally, Hong Kong palm trees have a lot of leaves on the branches extending from the left to the right around the trunk, but this is not the case.

It was because the branches fell off from the bottom, perhaps because of the disease.

Afterwards, I took medicine to heal the disease, but I thought it was too late to save.

But that wasn't it.

Only a few leaves left on the top of the pillars made their young babies with terrifying vitality, and only at the end of the tree, the leaves survived in the shape of a rich palm tree.

In addition, oddly enough, one stem at the top protrudes from the side for a while and becomes like an isolated island.

It came back to life in a very peculiar shape.




I turned my gaze and saw the Nan next to it.

I thought I was going to die soon at my house because it was difficult to raise, but I have been with us for more than 7 years.

In fact, because of the wrong management, all the fresh leaves rotted, so there were few leaves left a few months ago, but after intensive care since then, sprouts came up from the side of the dead chaff, which became quite abundant.

Other plants are similar.

Light green leaves are blooming around the existing leaves that look soft and pure like a child's skin.

I saw them with joy, touched them, and stroked them, feeling the wonder and mystery of life, having enjoyed more than any fellowship after work.



According to my recent experience of playing alone at home, the sweetest and most affectionate fellowship, and the purest and most invigorating fellowship, could be found in the encounter with natural objects in the living room.

In fact, in retrospect, many things that I thought could be gained from dating after work are not great, so I can't do it now, so I rarely think of'I'm bored, I'm depressed, I'm lonely'.

The light blue leaves and the springing little life swell up with affinity and treat me like a friend.

Instead of the desolate and lonely feelings that I had to feel in this situation where I had to be stuck at home, looking at these friends, I clearly felt that there was something close to me.

I clearly realized that the joy of being mingled with my colleagues, my favorite bar, and the billiard room was that I could taste that good, or even more, at home alone, even if they weren't there.



Of course, meeting people is fun and good.

But paradoxically, even when you are in a place where you can change your mood with them, you often feel loneliness and solitude.

It's because they've been stuck for so long that there's nothing to give each other new value.

To put it seriously, it's all about tasting each other's'exciting kimchi'.

Because loneliness and loneliness, as Thorrow said, are not measurable by the distance between a person and his colleagues.



The social distancing caused by the corona continues.

There are many people who are tired of playing alone at home (or because the home environment is not good), scattered here and there, and try to change their mood by cohesion again. In this case, they stop meeting each other for a while and try to change each other in their own space. How about finding things that are good for your inner emotion and immersing yourself in it.

I believe it will be effective for those suffering from corona depression and recommend it with confidence.
