these past year. The COVID-19 outbreak has a huge impact/ on both
physical and social well-being of a lot of Filipino/, including me. Stress has
been governing the lives of so many civilians/, in particular students and
workers. In addition/ to causing a lack of motivation in our life,
quarantine has also brought a wave of anxiety. Our life changed the
moment the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention/ and the
government announced social distancing. And suddenly, We are all
suffering of having some money to buy food.
But This made me realize that quarantine/ had created some positive
impacts on my social interactions as well. This period of time has created
an opportunity/ to check up on and connect with family/ and peers more
often than we were able to. Even though we might be connecting solely
through a screen/, we are not missing out on being socially connected.
Quarantine has taught me to value and prioritize social connection/, and
to recognize that we can find this type of connection/ not only through in-
person gatherings/, but also through deep heart to heart connections.
