Peace With Myself

Simone Robinson

My last piece of the semester is titled, Peace with Myself. This piece was supposed to be the epitome of my semester. During the year of 2020-2021, I was faced with many challenges over the course of two semesters. The most commonly shared obstacle was Covid-19. The pandemic of Covid-19 created a mass panic shared between everyone regardless of race, gender or sexuality. The virus showed favoritism to no one but ultimately also led to other challenges too such as mental health. For me, my anxiety peaked and I found myself drowning in work too. I was scared to live my life and this made everyday challenging for my mental and physical health. I began to not want to work on myself because of being afraid of success, challenges and being uncomfortable. I realized that this was not the way to live for me or anyone.
