On March 11, 2020, the day the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a global pandemic and all of our lives began to change in unprecedented ways, Todd Doughty knew he needed to do something to help him stay connected to the everyday joys of daily life. So he wrote down a list of things that make him happy: The musical intro to “All Things Considered”. Someone forgiving you. Someone believing in you. Your foot sticking out from under a blanket in order to find the cool spot. Freshly cut yellow tulips. A really good burger.

Changes are the worst. Especially when your parents decide to move you across town in the middle of high school. And with it now being my senior year, I hoped I was done with big life changes until graduation. But then I met Aidan. While my family has gone from middle class to filthy rich, his homeless state remains the same. Not that it matters to either of us. We're just happy to be together. But my mom and her agenda to clean up the city might just change all that. I only hope I can help him before it's too late.
