Dispatches from Quarantine:
Young People on Covid-19

I can hear the birds chirping all the time now. I never used to listen to the birds before; too busy running around from activity to activity. So many things have been taken out of my life and replaced. Yes, by worry and fear, but also by time, my silver lining. For the first time in such a long while, I’ve been able to just stop and sit. I’ve been able to focus on myself and heal a bit, in a world that's so broken.

I’m what any person would call a bit of a control freak and what I like to call a planner. I like to know what’s happening and what I have to do. It allows me to feel a little bit in control of my busy life. However, having zero control over anything or what the next day brings for almost a month and a half has been freeing. I’m able to just run barefoot into the yard and look at the clouds. I don’t know what comes next, but I do know that for now, life is just a little bit more free.
