Daily Quarantine Poetry

Day 157

Instead of a poem, I will be explaining my prolonged absence of what I did during that time since the point of this was so I'd remember my day to day anyway. On Friday, June 12th I went camping with my family where we usually hold a ceremony for our new year. I didn't write my daily poems during that and when I came home I had forgotten to catch up. The longer I wanted the more daunting it became to try and start again. There was also the fact that I hated most of my writings because of how genuinely forced they were. During my absence, I have visited family and been camping many times. My cousin was diagnosed with COVID but luckily she has healed and is safe. Two family members have passed due to other circumstances but I wasn't close to either of them. California is once again on fire and my brother in law is fighting them, which is stressful for the family, but I know he’ll be fine if for nothing else than his stubbornness to live. My niece walks and runs everywhere and talks more though she is going through a phase where everything is called “mama” which is cute at times but annoying when she wants something and it's all she says. I have looked Into more colleges and have found some I’d genuinely be excited to go to if I don't get into Humboldt and I may even have a chance now that I don't have to take the SAT (I am horrible at test taking) which has been the only good thing about this experience. I started Senior year on the 17th my school is doing online until it's reevaluated in October though it was promptly put on hold due to the fire that's making it so most students at our school have to evacuate. So that's pretty much what I've been doing. I'm sure there's things I'm forgetting since memory has never been my strongest trait hence why I started this in the first place, but I’m going to aim to write a poem a day again and hopefully they don't all go to crap like last time. Until tomorrow, bye.
