<strong>A few months into the pandemic, around the middle of summer, I was getting bored.</strong> 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,<strong> I started moving towards more fulfilling things, like being out in nature and playing music on my piano.</strong> 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. <strong>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.</strong>
