Dear Javairia:

I am okay, thank you for hoping that I am okay. Yes, you understand correctly what I communicated to you in my Aug 25 post. Your recent post shows me that you understand your situation very well, good to read that! Also good to read that the plan is that you will be moving away from home in a year, although I wish it would have been sooner.

Like you, I hope schools will re-open safely soon and that things will get better. Do your best at this time to survive, endure,  and make it to the next day and the next… toward a better life for yourself. What I focus on in my life, is having an interesting life rather than a happy life. Keeping it interesting, being curious, is easier than trying to be happy, and it keeps me going!
