COVID-19 has disrupted my life in many ways, but I still find ways to occupy my time during this pandemic. Working on my designs and strengthening my skills as a designer keeps me happy, energetic, and motivated. when I think about how COVID-19 has affected me and others it gets depressing. Things I used to do I can't do any more such as, working out, and moving around during work, things like that were ways for me to relieve stress. As my life gets disrupted by COVID-19, my faith and strength are all I have. Not knowing whats going to strike next, my employer is currently holding on to their employees hoping things return to normal while keeping us on the payroll. My thoughts matter to me the most during these challenging times I'm facing.

Writing a personal narrative to myself felt so good, It took a challenging time to discover how powerful I am, and to realize how important my success is to me, during this pandemic. I realized my true potential as a COVID-19 survivor. It takes dedication and patience to learn from this disruption in my life and to free myself from heavy, painful invisible chains that were blocking my path to success. Although COVID-19 disturbed my life, I still find ways to turn away from depression and embrace myself with light, and energy, It helps me rejuvenate my system and download positive energy.

Being strong, and keeping my faith are words that are easy to say, but actually implementing this in my everyday life still doesn't come overnight. I wrote letters to myself, embraced myself with the energy from the sun, and still, I find myself crying and searching for answers. I called my future self, and asked Malcolm, why is this happening, what encouraging words can you give me. I told the future Malcolm thank you, Malcolm said your war is already defeated, because as long as your still alive, a virus that's dead can not stop you.
