This is a journal of my thoughts and feelings during the pandemic of COVID-19. Written on June 21st, 2021.
I wasn’t planning on writing this post right now but I can’t help but document this moment.

This moment was surreal and emotional. I knew I had to mark it somehow.
I know that this will be a moment I look back on as a significant moment in my life.
This last year and a half have been so hard. So much stress, change, unknown, and loss. So lonely.
We will never go back to normal, we are creating a new normal. And that’s scary too.
This is the first step.
To feeling safer, protecting my health, and most importantly protecting those I love most.
Write soon,
Hannah B.L.
