I think what is so hard about the pandemic is how much I wish life was like this.

Quiet.

Homebound.

People at arms length – unless I let them in my bubble.

Hiding my face so I don’t have to be so exposed.

Not having to face the incredible overwhelm of keeping up with everyone.

I’ve had to adapt to your way of living for years.

Now you have entered into what mine was like before I learned how to pretend enough to live like you.

I forgot how peaceful this was.
