Dear future,
The weirdest and most exhausting part of this pandemic is the illusion that everything is normal while nothing is.
Right now at the start of ‘22, watching people everywhere being more and more careless while the virus numbers are absolutely insane, is so much cognitive dissonance.
The same way, when I think that something is slow and that I start mapping the effect of people being on sick leaves, the supply chain issues, etc. I realize, oh my god, of course it is slow.
Appearances feel like it shouldn’t be the case.
It’s exhausting to constantly readjust thoughts when the outside world looks just the same; trucks around, folks. Life with a bunch of people wearing masks, nothing much.
Uh. Well.
