every convo i have, the other person says- yeah, i’ve been in pretty bad shape myself.

2020 was absolutely the most terrifying year of my life. not just fear of getting sick, but my neighbors went nuts on lockdown. that’s what started it. all of june 20, ppl were blowing fireworks and m100s. drove the whole block nuts. and no one would do anything. so i ended up fighting w folks who had been friends for years.
having gone through a lot of crap starting my urban farm, having it flair back up when i thought that was over was just the worst. not sure i’ll get the mojo for the project back.
