It’s always strange whenever seismic things happen in life. It seemed like they happen in slow motion. I think the pandemic, or at least the beginning of it, was a time like that where it looked like it wasn’t really that big of a deal. Like from some small window of your own mind that it would just click at the fingers and go away.
And the media surrounding it was strange too because you couldn’t tell if it was like being hyped up enough or not hyped up and it took a solid month before I think the realization set in that like nothing is going back to normal after this but then it does and it’s such a weird thing. I met my wife, now wife at that time, Online dating bored during the pandemic with needing something to do.
And then you meet a person that’s just, your person and all this other stuff kind of fades to the background. And every once in a while you have a moment of consciousness where you’re like, wow, there’s, there’s really bad stuff going on out here. And, but you go back to your own bubble if it doesn’t affect you directly.

And even then it’s only for a second or two, but these shifts in the way that we live and the way that we do things seem like they’re going to be this real quick moment, but really that stuff plays out in slow motion.
