2020 was gonna be your year. You’d finally joined a new gym, bagged tickets to a summer festival, and had a course/new job/holiday lined up.
Now things are pretty weird. Nothing is normal, vibes are at an all time low. Friends and family feel far away, and watching the news is a minefield. Self-isolation is a never-ending spiral of pyjamas, Netflix and social media scrolling. And all you wanna do is check out of the situation.
You can’t control what’s happening in the wider world, but you can control how you react. Maybe now’s the time to stop, to list the small, positive things to hold onto.
We put together a little list of good things, for good feelings, happening online. Take inspiration, share with others, or don’t take anything from it at all!
We hope you find something here, though, even if it inspires just a little creativity.

YOUR HOME IS A CANVAS
Pejac, a Spanish painter specialising in outdoor murals, is leading a #stayarthomepejac campaign, encouraging creatives to emulate his style on their own walls and windows. His work is beautiful, and the videos on his site are inspiring. Check out his Instagram page and his Stories for inspiration.
