“What will remain of us?”
From #TheBeforeTimes:
🗓 September, 2019

”I’m trying to remind myself that it’s okay to feel sad and overwhelmed, because we are, in fact, grieving the lives we used to live — even if they didn’t always make the most sense.
Grieving the simple pleasures of being close to people; of bumping hands with someone on public transit (without feeling like I need to drown myself in hand sanitizer) or smiling at a stranger in the grocery store (who could actually see said smile, because masks we not yet part of daily wear).
Grieving the once taken for granted opportunity of hugging our friends and family or kissing cheeks hello and goodbye.
It’s hard not to ask ourselves what of those simple pleasures will remain, and maybe, perhaps, it’s foolish to assume than any of them will.
wear a mask. wash your hands. protect yourself and your energy. protect your friends and family. protect folx who are more vulnerable than you. be a kind human. those are the only ways we’ll ever find out what remains.” — journal thoughts, 7.1 @ 9:00AM
