About this challenge
We're all dreaming of better days—when we're finally able to see the people we've missed all this time and do the things we've anxiously been waiting to do. We want to hear what you have planned for your first day post-isolation, when we can finally feel safe and happy. Create your itinerary and walk us through the day: Are you meeting up with friends for lunch? What are you ordering? Are you going to your favorite clothing store, or getting drinks at the local bar you’ve been missing? Are you going to see live music, or a movie in the theater? Don’t leave any small detail out—take a moment with us to imagine better days.

Sometimes the simplest challenges are the deepest and most revealing. For this challenge we asked you to “unravel the mysteries, joys, and challenges of love through the power of personal storytelling” — we all love, we all feel we know what it means to love. Yet this challenge offered a reminder of the infinite shapes of human connection, and what power love has over us, even in the face of struggle and pain.
