5 Years ago today started it all.

Today was the day that world here shut down.

there was this thing called COVID-19.

We were initally told that we would be off two weeks for the virus to escape.

Eventually that became a lockdown of several months.

The things we had to do in life were differerent.

On top of that I was in delicate situation with my first apartment.

I was living on a small bed in my parent’s office in their house.

My mother was doing this thing called “work from home.”

The world was changing, different and scary.

Eventually, different protocols took place, called social distancing and masking.

While I regressed in some areas, it made me a stronger person eventually.

But it showed me that things can change in a matter of minutes.

It is being strong and fighting through change even when anxiety believes you cannot.

But one thing about all of the events of the year 2020 as horrific as they were was that I was reseilient and overcame the struggles no matter how hard they were or got in my way.
