The pandemic was an unprecedented time of stress for Islanders. The Island was locked down at the border, and Islanders were cut off from family and friends everywhere. Normally a very social and welcoming people had their worlds turned upside down. Adrian McNally Smith was not immune to the effects of these lockdowns and so he started to write about his own experiences and what he was learning about himself on thoughtful and inspiring social media posts. These posts became a lifeline for many of his followers and he realized that the things he was feeling were universal. This collection of mediations comes out of his work to save his own mental health with the hope that he can help others through difficult times.
