I finished my final exams only a week before ECQ and the Lockdown began, with my graduation and practices to follow in the weeks after. Of course that never happened, and I felt very down for feeling like I had done all my work in Grade 10 for no recognition whatsoever. I hoped that Lockdown would disappear, just live in a timeline where Corona never existed, though what-if scenarios are getting pretty tiring already.

Since the opportunity came up, I decided to use quarantine to give my family a little bit more attention. I barely interacted with my dad due to his work, but now I interact with him every single day. I am a very touch starved individual, and I got more opportunities to hug my parents and be better to them as a son.

Sa araw ng ECQ, wala na ang dapat na masabing goodbye. Sa aking kaibigan, guro at mga kaklase. Lahat na iyun ay nawala, pinutol sa akin katulad ng lahat. Dahil sa Covid-19, ako'y naiwang umiiyak na di ko na makita ang aking minamahal at hinahangang guro't kaibigan.

To pass the time, I played DnD with my closest friends and girlfriend. We had so many opportunities to play due to ECQ, and it was one of the BIGGEST highlights of 2020. I said I hated pondering on what-ifs, because I would never have seen myself being happy in quarantine with my nerdy best friends.

I love my class, they're awesome. Though when I started getting to know them, some of them really made me feel out of place, like I never belonged there. I cried sometimes knowing that I couldn't do anything about how they saw me, but then I learned not to care about what people thought of me, as long as I wasn't hurting anyone, I knew I was a decent person, and not the villain I thought I was.

I am applying for 4 different colleges and I am already prepping as is. I love the rush of knowing I am improving my art portfolio every day, and I am very happy to say that I am *attempting* to work hard each day on my own artistic skills. I will keep going despite all I have to do, because being an artist is what I love being.
