Dear Diary

During the pandemic life has been crazy! It seems like everything is slowing down. Like I was on a roller coaster flying 1 million miles an hour but then all of a sudden it stopped. Different people have different opinions about this time. Some people are loosing loved ones while others are enjoying the quiet time. Well I have a different story. On the 6th of December I moved far away from where I lived. At the start of the year I started school and I was brand new. I knew no one!

When I started at my new school was when the pandemic started. But nothing was really happening. it was all in china and I never thought that it would come to us here in Australia. So I moved schools again because I didn't really like the one I started the year at. When I moved there was only a few students in my class and I felt like an outsider. Everyone was at home hiding away praying that the pandemic wouldn't get to them. There I was though. The new kid. The next day I decided not to go to school any more and to also hide away like a lizard hiding away from a pray of lions.

For 6 weeks I had no one to talk to. I felt trapped and alone with no where to go. This changed me a lot. It changed how I felt about my self. It changed my goals and changed my state of mind. I know that my story won't be the most inspiring but that's not the point. I'm here to promise something. promise something to myself and maybe to some of you. When this is all over I promise that everything will be ok. I promise.
