COVID has messed everything up. Literally everything. So many places have temporarily and permanently closed, jobs have came and gone, etc. However, because I have had no choice but to sit at home every day, I have learned a lot about myself.

My circle is so small

The one person I thought would make the most effort with me in our friendship totally ghosted me. With that being said, I literally talk to 3 people on a daily basis and every single one of them live hours away from me. However, I will say it’s worth it. I’d rather have friends who actually put in effort every day and never be able to hang out with them than someone who couldn’t care less about me and just deal with them.

I'm more "craftier" than I thought

I have always been creative, but during covid I have been able to take my time with all the projects I make. I've made lots of string art, embroideries, etc.

I like cooking more than I thought

I don't cook very often but because I have so much free time now, I can learn more about myself which includes learning how to be fully independent. However, I will say one of my favorite things to make is homeade tortilla chips in the air fryer. It's so easy to make and tastes so good.

I do a pretty good job saving money

When covid first started to surface, I thought I would be spending all my money online shopping. I will say yes, I bought a couple of packages here and there, but nothing crazy and nothing I wasted money on.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
