First and foremost, I'm happy to see that you had a mild case, and have left it all in your rearview mirror. At the risk of (again) being assumptive, I think most people reading the opening paragraph will feel relief and empathy, whereas had you written it in the spring of 2020, it would've been a mix of terror, wide eyes, and puffed cheeks.
Earlier this week, I saw an article stating that the majority of Americans have already had COVID. I don't know if that's true, but it seems reasonable enough. For everyone else, I think it's inevitable. Thankfully, we have a lot more knowledge and weapons to fight it with.
Will we ever get those 2 years back? Nope, but it does make the coming years seem all the more precious. Every relationship sweeter. If anyone wants to see that in action, head to your nearest airport. Even the "bro hugs" are heartier and more heartfelt. It's amazing.
Determinism was a new term for me, but it explains so much. In my case, there are several very distinct actions I took that landed me where I am. It's reality, and the story has written itself. No spoilers, but so far the story is a good one. :)
P.S. I stumbled onto Staves this week, and am wondering how I made it this long without hearing them!
Thank you, Kate! So appreciate the mention. Also glad to hear you are on the mend!
