Thinking that normal is anything other than an average of the privileged.

Was the world different before 2020 or was it just different to you? Is that just semantics? I don’t think so.

Wars were happening. Famines were happening. People were dying from opiate poisonings. School shooting were happening. Social inequity was happening. Poverty was happening. A shit ton of bad shit was happening. And romantically we look back on pre-2020 as some kind of world on a path to perfection, as the last week of normal life…of a segment of the population that was born in a certain place at a certain time.

It doesn’t matter how many posts about living your best life and moving forward and finding your passion are posted. This tendency to think that yesterday was somehow better globally, universally, than today is kind of bullshit. Perhaps, that is what is stopping us (the Royal we) from collaborating with them.

Today is today. All kinds of shit happened today that yesterday, I had no idea were going to happen. I get it though…memes are easy to mentally digest and share.

Love,
