Inside my Journal

article image placeholderUploaded by @Nisahs_Audio
That's when I graduated high school and I just got very I don't know, I just started comparing myself as a student because of finals season in college, and I was wondering where my work ethic went when I was in high school, because I used to be on top of things. I used to submit things two, three days early. I used to be ahead of dates. I wouldn't miss deadlines. My focus was great. I wouldn't touch my phone for, like, hours

So, I mean, I don't know if I don't know if there's, like, people out there who have discussed their feelings about the pandemic, like people my age, because I'm about to turn 21 in September. So I don't know how people my age feel about the pandemic or what memories they lost or opportunities they didn't get to be in. Yeah, that's all I got for you guys

@Nisahs_Audio beautiful poem, thanks for sharing

I think any pages in your poem which are sad or depressing, because they are about that part where you lost and missed out on so much, just don't even think about it. Just lock up those pages and look at the amazing future you have ahead of you. The best

Perhaps it created this sense of you don't want to be in this house by yourself and not in a family dynamic because people are at home having these experiences with their family and also adding to it. I didn't see myself and my son as a family unit, which was a whole other thing that I needed to rewrite how my brain processed things

And I learned a lot of new things about my sister, because my sister and I, we are tight, even though we're, like, eight years apart. She is attached to me as a head. I'm her little mother, and so there's a lot of things I learn about. And yeah, the Pandemic, I think, really changed family, like how families work dynamically

And I think going back 2030 years into the future, you might have poems about the Pandemic like we do about World War II or protest or certain maybe Pearl Harbor, because that's some of the poems we read, like a lot of historical poems. And I think maybe the Pandemic, maybe my generation might be writing a lot of those. So I think that's a thought in my mind and reflecting back on what you said about the education and how the Pandemic impacted your children's education
