Impeachment. Why are impeachment hearings being held for a president who is no longer in office? Impeachment is designed to remove someone from office. Isn't it? There are so many important things that need to be done in the USA, but our elected representatives are wasting time and taxpayers' money on a non-issue. Their behavior shows their lack of care and respect for those who elected them. It appears that they only care about their own arrogant agendas and egos. I am depressed about the ongoing and evolving virus, business and school closures, unemployment, isolation, hunger, and winter weather. The impeachment hearings not only add to my sadness, but make our country a laughingstock in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Lately, I've been reminded of home more and more. I was not able to go home to Senegal during the quarantine last summer, so I haven't been home for two years now. Last week there were instances where I was reminded of that fact, be it because of something I saw on TV or through a conversation with a friend. I often think about what it is about home that I miss, and although I really miss the food, I've come to understand that I miss two things the most: Firstly, my family, because of the comfort and love at home. Secondly, I miss the adhan (Islamic call to prayer) because of the security and peace of living in a Muslim nation surrounded by my brothers and sisters in faith.
