Moved by your writing Shubi! Thank you for sharing your account of how the pandemic impacted your life. You speak for students around the world , and your piece provides an insight into how deep that impact was. Loved your observations on 'low maintenance friendships' being very important, that 'pain demand to be felt' and that 'pain unites'.
So proud that you were able to process it in a healthy way and emerge stronger. I hope the pain will fade with time, for I know that the learnings will stay.
You are right, college has made you a writer. More strength to you and more power to your pen!
Although I can't begin to imagine how difficult the end must've been for everyone graduating in 2020, you've beautifully captured the emotion with very powerful writing. So happy you could properly close this chapter of your life with a great piece Shubhi!
You’re such an outstanding writer/thinker. This is a profound piece with innumerable lines to ponder. One toward the end: “You write now. College will make you a writer.” So true. And then that process continues to extend...you’ll be one type of writer in your 20s and then life itself, thoughts, experiences will reshape you as a writer in your 30s. Thanks for sharing your smart work with us.

That doing anything apart from what you love or saying anything aside from what you mean is a form of crime. Potent words my friend! Lovely writing!
Thanks Bishnoo, appreciate it!
