Hello 2020
Hello world! Welcome to 2020. WHAT A SHITSHOW. Personally I have had a tendency to waver, unregulated and irregular, between moments of isolated apathy, dark depression, unfocused anger and lately, a strange but more calm and nihilistic sense of acceptance. We, as a species, and especially as a country, deserve this. And it will not be the end of the struggle, with looming climate change and current economic and sociopolitical struggle rampant, unapologetic and destructive as ever. I’ve said this for nearly 6 months now to various friends and family members, often times when they’ve been experiencing various levels of pandemic & society related stress, depression and anguish… This is not like anything any of has had to deal with before. Not in our lifetimes. There is no rulebook on how to handle any of this, and there is far too much apathy and ignorance. We were already *sort of* scared of this virus thing. Now shit has gotten real and its a very disturbing world we find ours
