Life in 2023 is strange. The past four years as a whole have been surreal, traumatic, and dystopian-like. Everyone’s experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic have varied widely. My story during that period is drastically different from that of a frontline worker in a hospital, an isolated elderly person, a child who can’t see friends at school, and so on and so forth. I can only imagine everyone everywhere being affected in some way. To me, it has flown by yet also felt like a decade long. We aren’t out of the weeds yet with this virus, but I do see an end in sight. I wonder what it will look like living in a post-pandemic world. How will we connect with each other again?
