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

<strong>The pandemic has left in me a feeling of longing because I haven't been to my home country in over a year now,</strong> and although I've been away for extended periods of time before, this time feels different because during quarantine I was living alone.<strong> Quarantine forced me to be more in tune with my feelings in a way that I had never been before, which turned into a double-edged sword,</strong> because I realized how much I took home for granted in the past and developed a new appreciation for it, however, it also made me realize how much I missed home.
