Dead will you lie and never memory of you will there be
Sappho 55
I took this picture of the view of center city Philadelphia from a completely empty parking lot on campus. The reason why I took this picture was in part to capture the beautiful orange and yellow sunset, but also because the empty parking lot kind of represents all of our lives during this pandemic- lonely, boring, lacking excitement, etc. The skyscrapers in the background sort of signify the more exciting and less lonely life before the pandemic, which we yearn for, but is far away from us now. As long as everyone can maintain their distance, stay positive, and ultimately keep living life as best they can, life for everyone will be back to normal eventually. More people will return to campus, cars will be back in the parking lot, everything will open up again, and life will be good.
