Emerging from the pandemic cocoon, part two
It's been about a month since my previous post about this unguided process . A month later, things still feel strangely liminal for me. Time still seems somewhat amorphous, as it has throughout the pandemic. I previously tried to come up with some sort of framework for activities to return to and gradually ease myself into post-pandemic life. One of the first things in terms of branching out socially was to attend some sort of outdoor gathering that included people I know (as opposed to strangers). I thought that would be the easiest starting point. Last weekend, I had an opportunity for that. It was overall enjoyable yet it also felt vaguely disorienting and afterward, I felt like I needed a week to recover from that sudden flood of socialization. socialized with friends, in person (outside, vaccinated), I will now use these next 2 days off to recover from so much being around people ohgod please let me just lie down in my dark silent house — Heather Wms Gaonađ¨ (@heatherwgaon
