    Uhm… not really. What the hell is a financial quarantine? Not enough money to leave the house? Can’t you just… walk?

      Yeah, but I’ve had plans of moving from my state for my entire life. I was making strides during COVID and then seemingly lost all the progress I had made when the “normal” returned for most people. I thought I had broken through, but I think I was randomly just lucky during that time, since I’ve been unable to adjust to what people consider normal (this was the case before COVID, too). So even walks feel like a prison since they remind me of where I live and my failures. Of course, I do try to focus on positives, like kitties that like me enough to say hi, chatting with neighbors (I’ve found most people in my area are coldly aloof and it takes a lot to get through someone’s wall). I realize I’m not defined by my failures, too.

        Really sorry to read that. Reminds me of a similar situation I’ve been going through lately, only it went the opposite way. Life used to be great before COVID, then went down the drain during it. From there it’s been going better for a while, then worse, then better again and so on. I have a feeling this is just how life is supposed to go.

        Anyway, best of luck for your moving endeavors. Say hi to those kitties for me!

      In many rural areas, no. Even midsized us cities have some neighborhoods you can’t leave by walking. These neighborhoods usually have only one or two exits and the exits are things like highways or other high speed limit, no sidewalk roads.
