Darkly academic research ideas for your time indoors (because you're not a heathen):

• The lives of great classical composers.
• Ancient Egypt's social hierarchy and attitudes towards women, homosexuality etc.
• Poisons.
• The tea trade, and how it became so important to British culture.
• 18th century fashion and the production of clothing.
• How corsets aren't the terrible patriarchal torture devices everyone thinks they are.
• The use of recreational drugs in the late 19th century.
• The French revolution.
• Methods of forensic investigation at crime scenes.
• Controversy in psychological studies.
• Matriarchal societies.
• How nostalgia influences fashion, media, and literature.
• The nature versus nurture argument.
• The history of trains and railroads.
• Symbolism in art.

Just a few research rabbit holes to throw yourself into if you're bored. :)

nothing is too small or insignificant to have as your reason to live. live because you just found a song that you really like and you want to listen to it one more time. live because you want to see your friend’s next birthday. live because tomorrow is supposed to be warm. live because sunday is supposed to be rainy. live because you want to see your pets face light up when you give them a treat. you will find big reasons to live, but you don’t have to find them right now. you don’t have to know your purpose, but live anyways.

I Have No Better Plan.
