A typical day begins with waking up, not much of a change. However now I do not need an alarm, my body is free to wake up naturally without a loud penetrating noise. I do my work when I want and how I want. I enjoy the company of myself and my family. I learn new skills and new things about myself. As a whole these kickdown days are teaching me more about the world and my life than I got to learn when I was out. This is the longest I've ever spent isolated from the world yet surprisingly (or possibly not) the most relaxed I've ever been. So like any other typical lock down day, it consists of me talking to myself, a lot. A bit like I am doing right now. But hey, it's a hell of a lot more fun than anyone else I've ever spoken to.
I hope my future self recognises and truly appreciates the new skills and philosophies I have learnt during this quarantine as a teenager. Sorry for not doing school work but I mean school was not open so what did you expect. Anyway hope you're having a blast and I really hope whatever you are doing you enjoy it and are happy. I look forward from hearing back from you. And remember if no one else loves you, I do.

"As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, our homes have been transformed. Bedrooms have become offices, living rooms have become classrooms, gardens have become gyms, and every house has become a cage of sorts.
Some people without a home have found one whilst others have been evicted, and many, many people live with the uncertainty of not being able to afford to keep theirs.
‘Oxford is My Home’ is a zine produced by Oxford Poetry Library and Open House which uses words and pictures to tell the hidden stories of housing and homelessness in Oxford and what it means to call this city ‘home’."
