say what you will about the world ending and 2020 being hell. since quarantines started, the air is filled with laughter and talk. i hear kids playing in backyards with their family. i hear people talking happily on the phone with loved ones. everyone has their doors open to the porches at our apartment. you smell cooking, see the lights of backyard firepits, hear children delighted to spend time with parents that are never home. i love the videos of people playing music with their neighbors, playing bingo from their balconies, pranking their family members, and streaming with their friends. i love that my mom and dad keep stealing access to netflix because they are home from work and finally have a chance to watch movies together. my neighbors wave at me when i take the dog out while they laugh with each other over a beer. i know more than anything its a commentary on capitalism but it’s still great to see people being people. its good to know there are still humans and that they are being relentlessly, beautifully human, regardless of what happens.

isn’t it insanely fucking wild how our entire way of living changed in just a couple of weeks. like. worldwide? the entire world changed COMPLETELY in just weeks. did we ever even imagine that humanity could change so easily in the middle of crisis? we were always taught that global changes take time and are hard to achieve, and just like that, we’re all suddenly living in completely different conditions, our mindset has completely changed and we’ve created new habits in no time, have incorporated the words “quarantine” and “infection/infected” to our vocabulary and drop them in the regular without even noticing it. it’s incredible the way this virus has exposed that many, many of the worlds problems can be solved just that easily, and we’ve been lied to our whole lives just because the people in charge don’t care about them
