*Stay Happy*

1 min read
I've had a Christmas carol stuck in my head all morning: We Three Kings. It's a mostly cheery tune, but the verse on repeat in my mind is one the church choir assigned to my Dad when we were all younger. "Myrhh is mine / its bitter perfume breathes / a life of gathering gloom." I sat down to start on my homework and saw the planner I bought last week, gleefully admonishing me to "Stay Happy." These are certainly strange days.

Tonight I begin the long drive to Chicago, where I will (hopefully) begin a summer internship with the Public Guardian's Office. I know travel is what got me sick in the first place, but there are foster kids in need and my partner waiting for me at the end of the journey. At the very least, I will have something more to write about. What are your hopes for the summer? What is your strangest pandemic story so far?

1) Law school is hard, and takes up almost every waking hour. 2) An apocalypse happened when I wasn't looking. 3) After driving around in the apocalypse, I got sick and am still slowly recovering. 4) On the bright side, I suddenly have a little bit of free time. 5) I started a collaborative blog, Intersectional Frameworks (reframetrauma.weebly.com) for people to share their experiences, and we've received a broad range of responses from all sorts of backgrounds and all sorts of places (though we're always looking for more). How have you been? What are you doing to stay sane in this apocalypse? What does isolation taste like?
