How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I like the word liminal. It's from the Latin word limen, threshold, and it means the ambiguous zone between two states of being. I like the way the word sounds, and I also find it describes situations I often find myself in. The beach is liminal, with tidepools that are sometimes wet, sometimes dry. Fog on the mountain is liminal. Airports are liminal. Some life phases are liminal. Adolescence is liminal. We are experiencing a liminal phase now, with the pandemic receding and our post-pandemic lives forming. Transitions are exciting for some people. I don't always enjoy being in a liminal place. Uncertainties unnerve me. But it's sure not boring.

Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.
In regards to my community, I feel that we are united and we look out for each other in terms of health and socially. We support children, protect them as well as elders. For example, in the building that I live in was offering grocery help for the elderly people in my building including my grandma so if the elevator was out of service, a group of volunteer residents would help them out and that offer still stand today.
