My Feelings

​

Hey, I'm M.

​

I don't usually talk about my feelings because I don't feel comfortable talking about my feelings with someone I don't really talk to. But since this is a project I have to talk about my feelings.

 

I don't like quarantine, honestly, because I get super bored. The only things I do are watch Netflix, clean the house, play Call of Duty with my friends, play Roblox with my friends, and do homework. But sometimes I just talk to my best friends I and D. This quarantine has made me do creative stuff, My grandma is teaching me how to sew, she has been teaching me how to cook new things, and she is going to start teaching me crochet.

 

I'm kind of scared because when I go out I need to be extra careful. I don't have tonsils and when you get sick the virus or all the germs get stuck onto your tonsils. But since I don't have tonsils, it’s dangerous because it can go straight to my lungs or stomach.

​

I'm sad because my grandpa recently passed away. He was 80 and he had cancer. He fell off and broke two discs from his neck. He couldn't really talk and he didn't eat very much. He passed away February 24 at 6:16. I saw him two days before he passed away. He was very weak. Then when he passed away I thought, “What if he was still here? How would he feel?” His immune system was very low. Would he have gotten the coronavirus? Of course I miss him a lot, but it just really got me thinking. My mom's friend's dad passed away because of the coronavirus. My aunt had coronavirus because she's a nurse and I haven't seen her since 3 months ago. My mom’s a nurse and she receives many emails from hospitals asking her to work because people at the hospitals have the virus and they need my mom to work. My mom doesn’t go because she takes care of me, if she were to go work, she’d have to stay away from me just in case.

​

Even though we text, and FaceTime everyday, I miss talking to them, I miss hanging around with them. I can't really go out except for getting mail and to take out the trash. I also love boba, and now I can't drink that.

​

I miss going to the park with my friends and even going to school. I also miss laughing super hard with my best friend. I miss doing fun stuff at school. I miss lots of stuff. I can't even go to Santa Cruz to visit my sister. I was really bored when I started reading a book, but it’s really interesting. My mom goes to work most of the days and my dad goes mostly everyday. I play Roblox with my best friends I and D.

​

Anyways, I told you mostly what I do everyday. I know it sounds boring, but that's life.

​

In conclusion the only thing I'm really annoyed about is that I couldn't have my friends over for my birthday.
