Isolation

When the pandemic started and everyone started quarantining, I thought this was going to be amazing. No school for the foreseeable future? Amazing! What more could a 7th grader want? At the start is was fun, sure. But with time, the isolation was killing me. I would spend hours browsing Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, any kind of social media I could get my hands on. I didn't have any friends online before this, nor did I have any of my friends numbers, despite the fact I only had 3 friends at the time. I was restless, my hands longed for something to do other than swiping at a glass brick for hours at a time. By the second half of the quarantine, I realized that I was digging the same hole I was in, and if I ever want to get out of the hole I need to stop digging. So I did. I planted a garden, learned a new instrument, did whatever I could to get myself out of that comfort zone. They say change happens without you realizing, and they're absolutely right. Anyhow, this painting was originally supposed to be of space, but I didn't realize that all the scribbles i thought were cut off are still there. Enjoy.
