[FONT="] Hope for Now and the Future…[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]The trees have begun to bloom [/FONT]
[FONT="] I am surrounded by love[/FONT]
[FONT="] By staying at home I am letting the planet rest [/FONT]
[FONT="]My country has not been ruined by years of war [/FONT]
[FONT="]There are no bombs raining on our heads[/FONT]
[FONT="]I am not a prisoner held in solitary confinement, as millions are[/FONT]
[FONT="]I am not a refugee trying to escape with my life[/FONT]
[FONT="]I am not standing in line to fill a pot of water[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have access to fresh food and I am not starving[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have hot running water[/FONT]
[FONT="]I can reach my friends by phone and check in on them[/FONT]
[FONT="] My friends check in with me because they care about me[/FONT]
[FONT="]Any whiplash I feel about this strange turn of events in itself a sign of privilege[/FONT]
[FONT="]More than half the world would gladly trade their everyday problems for the modest inconveniences I am experiencing[/FONT]
[FONT="]I may have anxious dreams but I am dreaming them on a proper bed and I am not sleeping on the sidewalk[/FONT]
[FONT="]As long as I have my mind I can create, imagine, dream and not be lonely[/FONT]
[FONT="]When something tragic happens in another country next time, I will respond to it not with superiority, but humility and recognition[/FONT]
[FONT="]I will fight for positive changes and economically just policies[/FONT]
[FONT="]This global crisis connects me to people around the world and reminds me of our common humanity. This is a good thing[/FONT]
