Story

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.

Over summer i quickly realized that there was not much i needed to or could do during the midst of a quarantine. So i used it as an opportunity to just have more alone time. I would wake up sometime at night, go downstairs and bake something or even just listen to music if i was feeling lazy. Then I slept through the rest of the day. It was extremely fun to just reverse my sleep schedule without much consequence. It was also fun to fail a bit at cooking without anyone being awake to judge me. Sometimes, i wore halloween makeup out of boredom, and again, no one to judge. I still miss having so much time to myself to just recharge and be silly.
