Meeting the status quota and waking up and living our lives day after day. Making time if we are lucky for friends and family if we arenβt too overwhelmed. Seeing the weeks and months passing by while also uncomfortably aware of what is happening in the greater picture of social political regression, and environmental degradation. While we all just try to make it to the end of the week have a couple days to recover and then it starts over again. Feeling tired and overly aware of the things we should do, call our mom, fight injustice, get a coffee with an old friend, start that business we have been talking about for year, partake in a hobby you set aside months ago and never finished, and fight for democracy.
