Sharing a bit of yourself, opening a window into your own world, is a good place to begin.

—Jeff Greenwald

I wasn’t surprised by the emojis people chose to share most often during the pandemic. They truly reflected the wild swing of emotions we all were experiencing. An organization called Emojipedia tracked the most popular emojis selected during April 2020. Here are the top five:

1. Face with tears of joy

2. Loudly crying face

3. Pleading face with anxiety eyes

4. Rolling on the floor laughing

5. Red heart

The emojis I used most often were: face with medical mask, heart eyes, and red heart.
