How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
One thing I can say about the pandemic is that it has brought us closer to nature. And sometimes closer to long lost friends. Today I met with my high school best friend from over 20 years ago. The only thing we could safely do was go for a picnic and a walk. That was just what both of us needed. We reconnected with each other and were grounded by the serene lake. The trees and rock and birds were oblivious to our problems, stress, and anxiety. And so for a little while we escaped them too.

Do you feel like your life is going well right now? Has the pandemic changed this? If so, tell us about it.
Yes and no. My relationship with my SO is fine. We've had a few bumps in the road, which is to be expected when you're in quarrantine with one other person. I also feel closer to family and friends, most of whom I haven't seen in well over a year. My biggest worry is that as an artist, I feel unable to create anything. When the lockdown began I had visions of unlimited time to try new art media and learn new skills. That didn't happen. I am really worried that my creativity may never return. It's a terrifying thought.
