Give your story a title.

My Suitcase Is Sad

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

meme

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

During COVID there was no non-essential travel allowed. So vacations were canceled or never scheduled. We all had to JUST STAY HOME!
This meme tells us that this person told his/her suitcase that they weren't going on vacation and the suitcase was sad and sat alone on the stair landing.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
