The ocean is my calm place. I feel strong, yet at peace when I gaze at the waves. I’m so thankful that I was able to celebrate my birthday there in the midst of the fear and uncertainty of this time. So much has changed; so much has been lost. Yet the ocean remains constant in its cycles.

I see people I know on social media going to New Orleans, or Miami, or California over the past few weeks. I don't really get it, the point of it. I know I went somewhere, but it was nearby and in a secluded cabin we left only once to walk. At this point, I don't want to get sick but I moreso don't want to spread sickness more. Now members of congress are getting sick from hiding last week, which is a horrible follow-up to what happened. Members of my extended family who have said the whole pandemic is a hoax have started getting sick.They're carrying on with life as normal as much as they can, which is really horrifying. All to prove a point. I don't get it.
