My hands are cracked similar to an earthquake tearing up the earth. The endless sanitizer and dryness from hand washing creeps into the crevices of my skin as I disinfect surfaces, hands, doorknobs, etc. again and again. Our world has thrown us a curveball, it has shut down to heal. This Covid-19 virus has truly […]
