I hate when someone I haven't seen for a while asks me what I've been up to because I have no fucking idea what to say. I've been in my house, I don't know. I think about a lot of stuff. I don't even know what I would go out in the world and do anymore? But I'm good

I was trying to think of stuff to say so I said that I'm almost fully vaccinated but then admitted that I don't I think I'm going to start going anywhere, I don't know what I would even go do bc my old life is dead. They were like “oh no that's not true!” but it’s definitely true

I kinda laughed and said, “what am I gonna do, call up my old friends?” I was joking because that seems clearly absurd to me, I don't even remember what I was like before the pandemic. They said it’ll get back to normal soon and I was like oh no i think I'll find a new life

it was clear that everything I was saying sounded depressing but it's not depressing to me, I guess I just have the conversational skills of a zoo animal at this point. Maybe I should hold off catching up with people for another year or so, figure out some different things to say
