A lot has been written about how difficult the COVID-19 pandemic has been — and it undoubtedly has taken a toll on all of us — but, on a personal level, I want to write about the positive things to come out of the pandemic.

I am a largely introverted, introspective person, so I was perhaps more suited than most to adjust to the new world order. As such, the extra time afforded from social distancing and self-isolation allowed me to become more creatively fulfilled than I have felt in years, with one project leading into another.
