How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I’m at the airport waiting to go to Hawaii. We just got our pre-clear wristbands that confirm we are vaccinated & symptom free. It feels strange to be around so many people at the airport. Today will definitely the longest I’ve been indoors and masked. I feel nervous about traveling with the delta variant. I don’t know if I would’ve booked this trip if cases had been as high as they are when we made arrangements. I guess we could’ve rescheduled, but travel plans have quite a lot of momentum & it’s hard to dial things back. We are just wearing our masks, crossing our fingers, and hoping no one in our group gets sick.

If you feel your mental health has changed since the pandemic started, talk a bit about how, and why.
It's been a rocky year for everyone and I've certainly had my ups and downs, but I think one positive change from the pandemic has been a more open conversation about mental health. It seems more okay to say you're not okay now than ever before in my life. I find it easier to represent what's truly going on with me and easier to understand what's going on with others for this reason. I also feel more aware of my own ups and downs and have more strategies for addressing them (like meditation).
