I was in the grocery store last year when more people were still wearing masks. For whatever reason, i looked up from what i was doing, looked at the people around me, and realized.."i don't belong here.." I watched the people walking around, getting things they needed and suddenly felt like I was standing outside myself watching "their lives" going on around them. That was a very profound moment in my life. I am ready for the life we were meant to have, not this one they've shoved down our throats.

I find it difficult to know what I know, surrounded by people who blatantly do not want to know what I know, and attempting to salvage any sense of normalcy or to even fit somewhere in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. It is surreal in this moment... and that is a severe understatement. The day-to-day is exhausting.

Is that Cambridge? I used to row there, half a life ago 😅
And yes, life has a dreamlike quality at present. Trying to make plans is like taking an octopus for a walk - they go wherever but not where you are planning
