Quarantine. 

That word seemed like a death sentence over the past couple of years. It came with questions, anxiety, and even doubt. 

What if I never recover? 

What if my final days are spent in isolation?

What if the rest of the world continues to carry on without me? 

Sickness, in and of itself, is frustratingly difficult. 

But when you add the isolation of quarantine, it makes it so much worse. 

Over the past year, people from all walks of life faced quarantine. 

It discriminated against none, and constantly pulled people into it. 

But while a virus pulled millions of people into quarantine, 

It wasn’t a new feeling for so many people. 

Sure, this time it was attached to the uncertainty of a sickness. 

But leading up to this, isolation has plagued people for years. You know that feeling - like you are all alone. The sense you get, when you realize you have no where to turn, no one to care. Sometimes it’s because of some friction between us and others. Other times, it’s just simply how we feel inside. 

Alone.
