My life has drastically changed over the past month and a half, and I know I am not alone in saying this. I have gone from going out every single day, having a routine, playing sports, having normal, in-person, interactions with people everyday to staying in the house and only having face-to-face conversations with my family.

Although it has given me time to do things I normally wouldn’t be able to, like read and eat breakfast, it is making me restless. Spending this much time with my family has made us all quite irritable. It feels like we are in jail.

It is, however, for good reason. I am definitely going to remember how much I miss my friends, and how I feel like I am wasting my teenage life. I have to remember that every time I think about passing up an opportunity to hang out with them to stay home and sleep. After this is all over, I am going to have a much larger appreciation for life. I am not going to be upset about going to school, and complain about waking up and having to leave my house. I really hope that people get better because this made me realize how serious disease really is.
