From 2020 up until now, everything has unfolded into a weird enigma. Vaccine developments and studies with Pzier, Johnson and Johnson, and  Maderna. It was like watching 3 toddlers fight over a trophy for recognition versus actually trying to make a difference …which is both humiliating and hilarious. One of my biggest accomplishments was to participate in the BLM movement during the pandemic

. It was exhilarating, inspiring and something I will never forget. I can still hear every chanting together, walking side by side with a poster in hand in unison. People were willing to raise their voices for the black community and I am honored to be one of the many that day.

One of the major conflicts that developed in my life was catching covid in 2021. It was very scary. When I first caught Covid it really put me in shock, I was scared and afraid, and with me having a history of asthma. I definitely wasn’t sure how my body would manage the virus. My whole body felt drained, hallowed, painful, and sensitive to almost everything. There were even moments that weren’t able to open my eyes without my migraines getting worse. 

It’s defiantly not a fun experience, but what was fun was testing out my lack of taste from Covid. I tried eating several things such as ranch, ice cream, onions, garlic, and even wasabi. When I tried eating garlic I could feel the spice-like feeling override my senses and the same could be applied with other spiced foods. When I ate bitter foods, it felt an odd tingly base sensation around the base of my tongue.

 I defiantly enjoyed having my mini science experiment!  In a way, that little experiment started a new wave for me.

 

I wanted to expand my life experiences and try things that I probably wouldn’t. For instance this month I got my septum pierced when I was always too afraid to get it. 

I started going out to new places, trying new foods,  became open to expressing myself more, and overall just trying to live my life to my standards. I think I learned to just live myself through that one moment. I didn’t think I was going to pull through, but I did. And I will always be grateful for that. The greatest lesson that I learned from all this was to live and just enjoy everything. You never know when the worst will happen or when things will change. Of course, the second lesson would be to always be careful with your health and take precautions with everything around you.  And that I can live with.
