I miss home, but choosing to self-isolate away was the right decision. 👍
When I first packed my bags and bought my one-way ticket to California from Boston, there was a slew of things I thought about. I knew
to pursue my dream job was the right thing to do, but I couldn't help but think: what if something bad happens? Just about every possibility crossed my mind — death, sickness, a natural disaster — but never, notCOVID-19 came out of left field, and I, like many others, was unsure of the right play. COVID-19 came out of left field, and I, like many others, was unsure of the right play. Cases were quickly popping up all over the US, and suddenly, the whole country was on lockdown. My parents, who had been calm, cool, and collected about the whole thing up until that point, now had fear in their voices. The question was asked:"Why don't you come home?"I go home?" I thought to myself. I can be around my family, see my dog, eat free food, and get homemade dinners.
It was weird at first. Reading the news and hearing the bleak predictions, you want to be with your family . My parents' texts weren't helping, either:"I'm glad you're out there following your dreams, but I really wish you were closer to home." Ugh, break my heart, why don't you? It was even harder knowing it was my decision to stay in California, not theirs. Although they said they understood, I could tell they wished I were home. I did, too.
