A few months into the pandemic, around the middle of summer, I was getting bored. Not bored in terms of nothing to do, but surprisingly, I was getting tired of ads. After watching hours of YouTube and Snapchat every day for months, the ads that I saw became repetetive, and I was really getting tired of them. I was noticing the ads more than the videos I was watching, and I just got tired of it. As a result, I started moving towards more fulfilling things, like being out in nature and playing music on my piano. Surprisingly, I didn't force myself to do these things like I did in the beginning of the pandemic, but they just came naturally to me. The crumpled up magazine page in the corner represents my rejection of advertisements, and the central focus of my piano represents moving on to higher, more fulfilling, natural things.

Esta semana ha sido rara, cada vez se ven más gentes en la calle caminando, la mayor parte con cubrebocas, pero sin guardar sana distancia, pero por otras partes he conocido de manera indirecta que varias personas han muerto de COVID 19. Lo que me recuerda que el virus no se ha marchado, de hecho pienso que él ya se quedará a vivir con nosotros, aunque espero que en el futuro no sea letal, y pase a ser como un resfriado. Finalmente, tuve que visitar a mi familia en el Estado de Morelos y asistir a compromisos sociales para "rezos" que se hacen en mi país para familiares que han fallecido en este año, con motivo de la fiesta de muerto, a pesar de que es un pueblo pequeño, la mayor parte de personas usa cubrebocas en espacios públicos, creo que lo usan mucho por miedo, porque conocen o tienen familiares que sufrieron o murieron por la enfermedad.
