After reading this article, it somewhat warmed my heart. Growing up at a time like this was something I never imagined to experience. At the very beginning of quarantine, Animal Crossing was very popular among my friends. I wasn’t able to play the game, but it helped my friends a lot. We were all going through a rough time, confused at what to do. Time felt like it stopped, but many world issues put a lot of stress on everyone. Reflecting back on my time during the start of quarantine, I realized that I wasn’t the only one feeling this way. I wasn’t alone. Instead of playing Animal Crossing, I discovered more hobbies that helped me relax. Listening to different music, drawing, and watching movies were my “hope”.
