The Curse of Free Time

Seth Stewart

Time is a gift, a gift we take for granted. But when given extra time, it reveals to be a curse. When the pandemic arrived and everything shut down, everyone was given time. One would think this “gift” was wisely used. Like fixing something you never had time for.

The reality is, everyone was too focused on what problems the world was experiencing, and people just waited, scared and anxious, watching the pandemic unfold.

So, free timeis a curse, one that everyone wanted.

The Spread Mia McCarthy

Desperate times call for desperate measures, trying our best for our loved ones to be safe. Wear a mask they say, wash your hands, stay away six feet, no less, this is the primetime of our lives, and we must live it in isolation. We tend to forget anyone besides ourselves, we tend to forget who we are wearing the masks for. Our systems can contain it but can our parents’, grandparents’ and others? We must unveil the fact that we are stuck in a new world with new problems, a world where we must be unselfish and not be invincible.
