Whether you escaped alone or in a group, you will come to a point of existential angst and question your life's purpose. Try to counteract this by keeping your mind occupied! Try to take books if you can or see if you can find any in abandoned villages.
Be creative! There are no more set norms and rules but humans need rules and regulations. Make up your own! Can't remember the name of a flower or plant? Invent one! Having said that, it can be a very useful exercise to try and remember all the old names. Maybe you could write them down (if you have pen and paper) for future generations (never give up the hope that there may be some!)
Keep a diary if possible. Do you have any batteries and CF cards left in your camera? Keep records of your surroundings and the changes. Do you have a mirror and artistic talent? Draw a self-portrait every day, in the sand with a stick if necessary.
Invent imaginary friends and populate your world....
Whatever it is, keep busy! |
