ESSAYS | Love in the Time of Covid-19 – vol 2

It’s been hard. It’s been wonderful. It has been sad and fine and lots of things that words can’t even describe. This time is so hard for so many reasons. Recently when chatting with a friend she said this to me, “It’s so hard, Sarah” and I thought, yes. That is just it. It is just hard. It is unknown and in the unknown it is just full of all sorts of things that we didn’t know existed inside of us.

The flip flop of emotion in and of itself it hard.

The up and down and the in and out and the constant intwining of your people in one house, it’s hard.

Somedays I feel just done with it all. Other days I feel ok and that I could make it work if I needed to…

I wrote that on May 26, last year. This IS our new normal, it seems. And as we head into our Covid anniversary I am reminded of something I wrote way back in April of last year, on my Instagram.

WE NEED BEAUTY, we need art, we need your creative voice. It is what gets us through.

So this post is going to stay short and sweet because that is what is most important to say, at least that is what I need to hear today!

Love to you all, xoxo Sarah
