Missing connectedness

Dallas TX

Description

I'm not looking for anything. Just making a general statement and venting a bit I suppose... I started isolation way before it was the it thing to do and now I'm watching the rest of the world go back to normal and I'm not prepared for that. I'm not sure I ever will be. The world seems to have gotten bigger and more claustrophobic at the same time and I feel very... unsure how to approach it anymore. Not that it was just super easy before, but now... now it worse and I'm more aware of it and its just kind of overwhelming. Even if I've never spent much time actually talking to other people I see in public, I miss going to the grocery store and seeing the full face of some stranger who has seven cases of beer and three TV dinners in their cart. I miss seeing someone have a smile pop up suddenly while they are staring at their phone and wondering what brought them that little bit of brightness and feeling good for them. All this mask business is really starting to make me miss seeing peoples facial expressions. Sounds creepy. I'm sorry for that. Its not my intention. Sorry for the ramble.
