Hello to everyone who may be reading this. My name is Andrea Sveda if you do not already know me, but just in case you think that you know me, you’re wrong. The thing about having a ton of time on our hands is the silence can get louder than anything you have ever heard. You start to drown the silence with your own thoughts, but that can turn very bad, fast. So far on this journey I have mainly been focusing on me. Recently before this all started, I lost a lot of amazing people in my life. People that a lot of my happiness came from. But along with finding myself I have also learned who people can really be, and how even when you think you know who they are, you are wrong. Now with that being said, I do not blame any of them, whatever I did, however I acted that made me lose them, that is on me and not them. So I took that as a learning experience, I started to do things that made me genuinely happy to find myself again and put my values where they should be. Focusing on my school work and spending time with my family. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the world that we live in that we forget what matters most. We forget about the people who made us being alive possible. My mother and I have never been so close, I can talk to her about anything and everything and know that she will listen with open ears and never judge me. Mentally this has taken a toll on me, my thoughts about the bad seemed to outweigh the good. My problem has always been bottling everything up until I explode, but bottling all my thoughts us never ends up well, which is why I learned that talking instead of keeping quiet is always the best thing to do. Not that everyone will agree with what is on my mind, but I do, which is all that matters. But, with that all being said, I miss my friends, I miss my family that I can’t see and I miss my normal life. Until next time coronadiary
