During this time of separation, I’ve had tremendous time to just spend with my family. We eat, play games, watch movies, laugh, and just have fun together because family’s all we really need, right? After a while I began to have feelings of emptiness or a hollow spot in my life, telling me that I’m missing something important. Then, I realized that that feeling was loneliness. I had began to miss my friends. My companions and favorite people with whom I shared my aspirations with, my puzzled thoughts, and my moments of silliness with. I realized that this global pandemic, this need to stay apart in order to remain healthy had placed a huge block in society, because after all, my friends mean just as much as my family does. To fill this void, and to destroy the wall created by this disease, I began to create small care packages for my friends. Inside I placed little notes, some baked goods, and even face masks my mom and I had made. I delivered these packages that were made with love to the doorsteps of my friends, and sat in the car as I watched them open the packages with excitement, and I didn’t stop there. My mom and I decided to make a few more of these packages to carry around with us in the car whenever we go on grocery runs. Sometimes we’d meet someone who is in a little bit of a struggle right now, and we give them a care package. Other times we’d give one to the cashier for being so hard working. You never really know who you’re going to meet out there, but I’ve learned to leave a good mark wherever I go.
