2020-2021, I didn't have a good year. A Couple of years if I'm going to be honest, but when PROBLEM X was happening, also was PROBLEM H and then PROBLEM B would distract me from thinking too closely about PROBLEM M.... anyway, all of this sort of cumulated and collapsed spectacularly in Nov20/march21, and for once in my life, although there still were the problems of LIFE, my main torments were OVER. Not perhaps the way I wanted them to be over, but the sidequests of anguish came to an end.
It's hard to worry about just your new magazine burning in the housefire when you have to keep scooping the walk in a blizzard or you'll get a fine, and the fine is your lawn will also be set ablaze. Rough municipality.
In October of THIS year then, I had a sudden RUSH of emotions, an aftershock of traumas, a realization and awakening of pains I thought buried or surpassed. I'm much better now. I chalked this all up to YES finally succumbing to grief, trauma, fears, pains.. a normal reaction. I assumed I was in shock for a month or two, honestly.
BUT, the other day with proven evidence that the brain is affected by COVID, I got to thinking... while life had been a BLUR for much of it the last several years, and I _had_ been operational/merry occasionally since... the sudden rush of pain and memory and anguish happened (while at the time, it felt randomly)
...when I had a COVID infection.
So, who knows. Another mystery of the head to get answers to in the afterlife maybe. Did my grey fats sizzle a little bit, awakening previously unwounded flesh? previously healed flesh? Just some mind demons? I dunno. I'm procrastinating right now anyway.
