And so, not even the global pandemic that put the world on strain could stop the inevitable reality that eventually we all grow up. The 2020 class is officially graduation this next week and some emotions are mixed to say the least. Some will be glad to be done with the online schooling that simply became a background chore that made us realize we just spent the entire morning typing on a screen. Others will be put to the reality that they are adults in the midst of the greatest global crisis of this century.
But even if emotions are mixed, caps will not be. The graduation will lack a party, a ceremony, a diner even. making it one of the most forgettable events that will most likely will not be forgotten by the public.

As soon as projections showed the curve beginning to flatten, Americans took it as a sign that the worst of the virus had already come and gone. Restaurants began to reopen, alongside shopping centers, precautions were lifted and, to some, greetings were given. To some, lives were back to normal.
But reality would soon hit America in the back, as it became the capital of coronavirus related deaths, that is without nationwide testings. And things are clearly not going to go back to normal anytime soon, as the curve resurges once more we can admit that Vietnam has scored one more against the US. As parts of the world heal from the ongoing pandemic, some others relapse into mass sickness. The US is one of the later, as their reopening of their nation was done as soon as the curve began to flatten, not understanding that such a sign indicates positive feedback of ongoing measures, not complete absolution of them.
But this didn't stop the US from sending a PMC cell from trying to sneak into the sovereign nation of Venezuela and throw a coup against their leadership. Sadly they did not expect their own social media account to tweet out the operation to president Trump. It is easy for one to sometimes forget about time as an entity at all, when spending time with those who we love, when doing things that bring us joy or when simply experiencing a second we wish lasted a lifetime. But when time becomes less of a preying watcher and instead a forceful jailor, it can be easy for seconds to carry the weight of lifetimes.
For many of us, this quarantine has been processed differently, some have decided to forget about time and loose themselves in the present, being surprised whenever someone attempts to update their weekly watch. Others have decided to set rigid schedules as to not lose their sense of time. But in the end, we can only make sure that we are here to see the start of the next day. |
