How do you imagine life will be different when the pandemic is over? Have your thoughts on this changed since the pandemic began?

I am lost in my own anxiety, depression, and trauma at times. Pain and violence have become the norm. The pandemic has a way of making me feel the bitter truth of our world. I have learned to be more independent. I have become stronger through my pain, shaping me to be more empathetic. I am allowed to give myself grace during difficult times. I learned to stand up for myself, even if it is hard, even if I had to walk away from my dream job... I can use my voice to make a difference on others and myself.
