A letter from March 20th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Life is weird right now. I haven't left my house in a week or at least since I've been home. Corona went from background noise to screaming in my face in seemingly a matter of days. College is online now everything is canceled. The world seems a little uncertain right now. I moved Instagram, twitter, and tik tok to another folder on my phone in hopes I would look at them less. Some posts tell me it will all be okay eventually and that this will one day be a memory or that I should try to get fit and work on a hobby in the meantime. Others tell me that this is the end of times or "our generation's war." The latter gets to me more easily and an underlying fear that things will never be the same sits with me. Although this might be dramatic and I hope it is the uncertainty of when you will go to school or even leave your house again can get to you. I'm not really afraid that I'll get it. I mean I don't want to get it especially cause I'd give it to my parents and brother. I wish I had an end date. I wish I knew when this all would be over. I know that it will not go away all at once and that it will likely mutate and things will be pushed back farther. I'm looking forward to the day when things can be normal again. Maybe things have gone back to normal a year from now. I hope so. Can't wait to be you future me... :(
