With the onset of quarantine, many familiar settings that were once a source of rest are now becoming more of a passive prison. In spite of this, it is rejuvenating to explore the outdoors while maintaining parameters. When spring agrees to cooperate with warmer weather, my brother, Joe, and I walk our dog, Sarah, around various routes in our neighborhood. This particular night, Tuesday, April 7, we walked our dog down a hidden trail that we discovered in the woods. Despite the walk becoming more of an adventure then we planned, our dog enjoyed the extra miles, and we needed the exercise.

I had these photos printed in December, but I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to use them for at that time. After a couple weeks of being stuck at home, I found myself missing my friends a whole lot. I decided to put the photos up on my wall so I can see my friends’ faces whenever I’m in my room. Though my friends aren’t actually here with me, the pictures have made my room feel a little less lonely, and when I am feeling lonely, I can look up at my wall to remind myself that even though I can’t be with them, I have some pretty amazing friends who I’ll cherish even more when I’m finally able to see them again. I also organized my bookshelf and put a few special items on it, like the cup Natalie gave me a couple years ago, my corsage from prom last year, and a card and heart-shaped box from the last two Valentine’s days.
