People are always trying to hold on to love.
Some try to lock it down, like Dumplin and Jody, who clicked their love shut just before the actual lockdown. How have they fared during the pandemic? Has their love been strong enough to withstand quarantine, whether together or apart?
And what about those who have had to remain at a distance from their loved ones? How lonely are they?
Some couples enjoy their good fortune of spending more time together—for others it causes friction.
Families may feel closer, but also pushed to their limits—forced into being teachers as well as parents.
Is there a secret combination that gives us an answer to every uncertainty?
I don’t think so, but I do believe we should continue to hang on.
Because although we find ourselves reacting differently to our global circumstances,
we are still one people, forever joined as the human race, linked together in the circle of life.
