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

<strong> Each evening, I have been photographing the view from the window in my room.</strong> The pandemic and the near-constant state of being cloistered indoors has me cherishing whatever little of the outside I have access to, and<strong> I find myself increasingly fascinated by the houses in the apartment complexes opposite with the light in their windows.</strong> They make wonderful patterns, every day a different one depending on who is home. It is an interesting and heartwarming activity to try to pick up bits and pieces of people's lives from what little I can see<strong>. I even feel something akin to friendship and camaraderie towards some of these homes,</strong> especially when it's really late at night and I see a house or two with its lights still on;<strong> it's like a murmur that reassures me that I'm not alone.</strong>
