The Fear of Shopping in the Midst of the Pandemic
I haven’t been out much lately, or at all for that matter. But a couple of days ago I finally tried to venture out. I live in Florida, where mandates aren’t as stringent when it comes to COVID 19. But I needed to go shopping, in a store where there could have been COVID 19 lurking around any corner. As I was walking through the store, most people had a mask on, but of course, there were some who didn’t. And Some were socially distancing, but again, there were some who were not. Normally I like to mind my own business and shop; the only reason I went was to buy my son a jacket. But I never really noticed how scared I was of COVID19 until entering into a clothing store, where there were a good amount of people shopping. And it made me nervous and cringy, to say the least.

Finding the Silver Lining
I remember when one of my biggest fears was losing my parents. I was so attached to them; at times they were my world. I felt that if they died, I would fall apart and not be able to survive on my own. I knew death was inevitable. After all, none of us will make it out of this lifetime alive. And yet, death of a loved one seemed so incredibly foreign to me. It was as if death and dying only happened to others; it did NOT dare happened to me...Until one day, it did.

A Love I've Never Known Before
All of my friends had a gang of children by the time they were in their mid 30's. I, on the other hand, had zero. For some reason I never felt that calling to be a mother. As a child I don't remember every playing with dolls where I took care of them like real babies. I mostly had stuffed animals and I loved cats and kittens. I guess I just did not have that maternal instinct like others did.
