  A Covid Experience

  I learn about myself through the stories of others; this account is both a recounting of my friend Stephanie’s story, a conversation we had after she contracted Covid19, and my own introspection about the different impact that written and spoken stories have.

  How Does A Pandemic Help One Explore Sexuality?

  In about September or October, I remember my friend reaching out to our group chat about how she was questioning her sexuality. This questioning soon led her to the realization that though she had identified as straight her whole life, she felt that the label of bisexual fit her better. Next thing I knew, she was dating a girl. When I decided to seek out material related to the expression of sexuality during the pandemic, I knew immediately that I wanted to dive deeper into her story and see if the pandemic had anything to do with the situation. One of the biggest issues I had with this interview was making sure that I was not overstepping any boundaries and getting too personal, going back to the ethical responsibility that historians/archivists have to respect the privacy of those who are aiding in their contribution. However, I feel that not only did I find more out about the effects of the pandemic, rather, I found more out about my friend than I had expected to.

  The podcast of the breathtaking “Change”, where our guest was Sveta Tsyganova (project “Secret Code of the Child”), which answered questions about education - and the dialogue was just wow-fire. And about the modern school, and about responsibility, and about the authoritarian and democratic [paternal] approach, and how to develop talents, and about sexuality, and everyone got so wound up that they did not notice how the hour passed. Listen, in general, to the podcast and come to Sveta to learn the "Secret Code of the Child", so my gut directly tells me that you may need this very much.
