I remember this one day at school, while I was sanitizing my hands and cleaning my desk, a girl called me “over dramatic.”  Also, some folks joked about this whole pandemic and made memes.  I thought it was funny at first and that I didn’t have to worry.  However, I’ve come to realize that it’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that this is the world we’re living in.
