Covid for me was interesting and despite everyone having struggles with Covid, my story is more of a happy one because despite the fact that everyone was locked away and six feet apart in zoom meetings and everything, I took a bit of comfort in knowing that it wasn’t just me. Everyone was going through this and so my story is a bit more joyful because I took advantage of doing online school in a comfortable environment and waking up and doing work outside even and in spaces I enjoy and I definitely had more free time and I used this time to express myself creatively. I painted drawings, I did digital art, I made videos and it was pretty good and me and my friends would hang out. We had more time to hang out. Once we realized that Covid wasn’t as much as a threat to our specific age range, we started commuting more and hanging out and it was a good point in life. Now I remember the first week when Covid struck it was a mix of fear and excitement.
This sickness just comes but two weeks off of school which expanded into months and then half a year, a year, I don’t remember how long it was but then eventually they started letting us back into school and that was kind of the downfall. That’s where things start to get sad because not only do we have to start waking up and going back to school but also we had to wear masks which was very restricting, it was very uncomfortable and made it hard to focus and so it was hard to go anywhere actually without seeing a sign that said masks required so we just kind of hung out until it all blew over but I definitely valued my free time after that a lot more and realized how much more of an impact that made on my life and so I did truly take advantage of Covid and found the optimism and I don’t wish that it wouldn’t have happened and I’m glad that it did happen.
