Fractured

Leah’s square shows her isolated from the world by COVID-19. She describes it as an “out of body experience.” Leah was able to vote in the election for the first time and that made her feel engaged, but overall she will remember the pandemic for having been isolated in a fractured world. But for Leah the isolation has not been all bad. In the process, Leah has learned a lot about herself. “I’ve learned that time with yourself is very important. It’s a time to understand who you really are and what you can be without other people around you. It gave me time to reflect on what I want to do with my future, who I want to be. I understand that I’m not the only one on this planet. It’s not just me running this race, it’s everybody.”
