I Learned But I Did Not Grow
2020 was a year unlike any other. Everyone in the world shared in each other's pain as we faced a global pandemic while each was struggling with their own troubles. I, of course, am no exception to this. Covid-19 hit during my senior year, causing me to miss out on some incredible milestones such as graduation, prom, and my freshman year of college. The isolation took a toll on my mental health, as it did many others. On top of these struggles, I faced the unimaginable as my mother was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and devastatingly passed away in August. Indeed, 2020 was a year unlike any other.

The Sun, The Boy, and His Shadow
There once was a boy called Jack who loved the sun. For on the days that the sun shone, Jack could find his shadow and chase it. When the sun was shining, Jack and his shadow spent the day laughing, and talking, and chasing, and laying the grass soaking up the heat. At the same time, his father and brothers labored in the field, sweating and praying for rain.

The Boy, The Book, and The Bay
Don't ask me where I came from. I could tell you I was created many years ago by an old sorcerer in a dusty attic. I could say that some greater power, a magnificent entity bound my pages and sent me here for reasons that cannot be understood by men's simple minds. Or perhaps that I have just always been; no before. No, do not ask me where I came from. It is much simpler to accept that it does not matter my origins, only that I am here.
