I’ve been going out and gradually doing more lately and as I’ve done that, I’ve noticed something…there’s an overall sense of kindness and niceness that people seem to have. I noticed it at Starbucks and then Trader Joes and as a prime example, I went to Costco today where pre-COVID, people would run you over … More On Life After the Vaccine, Vol. 4
Today was a tough one. It’s interesting to see how my emotions have morphed throughout this whole thing. I was completely overwhelmed with anxiety in the beginning.
