today I felt like a real person again just because I walked to a grocery store and cooked dinner. using uber/doordash/instacart to convenience and abstract basic necessities of living def has an effect on my perception of reality. life needs texture.

Theres no physical place that I would rather be, but if I could truly be anywhere, I imagined a room filled with all the people whom I love (my friends). But we are so far apart. Its a tragedy that the only times we gather at such a scale is a wedding or a funeral.
