I’ve rediscovered the rose garden park nearby. I’ve started going there pretty often, I’ve been there everyday for the past 3 days. It’s like I’m rediscovering people. It’s so nice to be around people of different ages, backgrounds, abilities. Seeing them run, read newspapers, hold hands strolling, sit i the grass on blankets, take pictures, walk their dogs, play with their children, speed walk. I miss people. Lately, going to this park feels like being part of the world again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very connected to online spaces like groupchats and social media. Yet, being physically in space with others is a whole other level of excitement and possibility.
