This pandemic has affected each and everyone of us in a different way. Although this pandemic seems to be a lot about the negative, I try and look at the positive aspect to it. When this pandemic first started and we had to go under lockdown and were under a stay at home order, the idea of it seemed pretty fun at first. The thought of staying at home and not having any responsibilities seemed like a pretty good thing. Once this lockdown continued for longer than we expected, things easily got annoying and was easily frustrated with the little things in life. Everyone got on everyones nerves. All I could think about was when this was going to end. Looking back, I've realized how much closer me and my family have gotten. Even though my family and I were already very close, we realized how much this pandemic made us appreciate the time we do have together and how other families may not have it like us. All in all, looking back, I've realized that we need to be thankful and grateful for things things we have in life rather than wanting more.
