How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

This week was my mom's birthday so I went home to see her. She is now fully vaccinated and this was the first time I was able to see her without social distancing in a really long time. I was able to give her a big hug and eat next to her. After being worried about her health for the last year and unable to see her as I wanted, this was incredible. I felt so hopeful this week and I feel like this is finally coming to a close. I can't wait to be able to get my vaccine and start seeing my friends like I was able to see my mom. One interesting this I felt this week was nervous about things opening up again. I've been dating in COVID this year and have been able to use COVID as a good boundary setter. It's almost scary that I will soon have the possibility of seeing people non-social distanced again.
