How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : It ‘ s hard to go shopping for food , spend time with family , go to work and school , etc since everything is closed . It also made me drift away from friends since it ‘ s hard to be in contact woth them , and texting and calling just isn ‘ t the same . At least there ‘ s a couple things that I learned , don ‘ t eat exotic animals and always be prepared with washing yoyr hands and staying safe .

I may not know who you are , but I still want you to succeed and stay safe . So go do your school and don ‘ t forget to wear a mask !! 🙂

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: Life can be hell sometimes , maybe even purgatory . But we have to learn to move on and look forward . Let ‘ s do our best cause we will never know what the future holds for us . One day this pandemic will be over , or maybe not who knows ? We just have to keep believing and not focus on what ‘ s happening right now , but rather what ‘ s happening to YOU as a person and how your future will be . I platonically love you , and I KNOW that you WILL make it through this .
