The picture is of an area in my room where I keep a bunch of travel related paraphernalia along with items that a relative of mine has gotten throughout her travels, such as tourist related figurines, international coins, and even a paperweight, along with my passport. Although I've never been to any of the places that the objects are from like China, Japan, England, Pakistan, and Mexico, the objects all get me excited to go out and experience the world someday.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Why is everything so hard? This week, a friend came out to visit. She didn't even stay with us, but the visit was exhausting, expensive, and time consuming. Have I forgotten how to be social? This photo is from Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. She said it was the best thing she did on her trip, so I was happy about that. But to me the day was stressful and unnerving at the same time. Too much of my mental space is taken up with comparing how things used to be, pre-Covid, and how they are now. It seems like everything before was easy and cheap. Going out now there are roadblocks and barriers. It's aggravating, but of course there is no going back. I have to figure out how to be grateful and happy to be able to do things at all.
