Abstract

Description

In this poetry submission, Participant 357 shares about feeling like they live in an apocalyptic world with masks on everyone's faces, waiting for a vaccine to be available. The participant shares the phone number of the NJ 2nd Floor Youth Helpline, as they have found comfort in talking about their emotions to someone. The participant encourages people to explore new passions and work at skills in something new, like cooking, while having the opportunity to focus on individual development and growth.
