My text story is sort of a retrospective look back to the quarantine times. While it was awful in so many ways, just like any historical event one lives through, there are bright spots. My story focuses on one of those bright spots, specifically that we all got to stay home for a minute and figure ourselves out. Without the constant distractions of being perceived, I was able to figure out what I wanted and needed, even with the sword of COVID-acles dangling over our collective heads.
