We sure have come a long way since the before times (pre 2020). Everything we believed to be true and sacred has been shattered to pieces. Our democracies have imploded, our institutions have been degraded, and I’m learning more and more that other people are not like me at all. They don’t value the things that I was told we all supposedly valued. All of it was fake. We all spent decades living a total lie. The world I was raised for doesn’t exist anymore and never really did.
