I had a near-identical experience of those early lockdown days, truthfully. My birthday was march 21st of that year, and instead of getting together with a whole bunch of my friends that I never got to see, I was settling into life in lockdown. That day I actually took acid and I think it completely helped me to reframe everything that we were going through as a world. Psychedelics were an incredibly therapeutic tool for me throughout that time period, too.

For so much of my life I looked forward to a pause like that. It was dreamy in a lot of regards. Like you, I spent more time engaged in creative pursuits than ever beofore. I read more, wrote more and played more music. I finally found time to play the all of the open world video games that I'd downloaded but always procrastinated on actually starting lol. I'm very nostalgic for 2020.

Beautiful and thought provoking, Elishah. Really enjoyed reading your thoughts here!
