The litany of “what ifs” has run the gamut throughout the past year – literally 365 days of living on repeat, holding our breath for more of the same while simultaneously waiting for the next germ-filled bomb to drop. We’ve disguised our discomfort with nervous laughter about the predictability of comfy pants, failed homeschooling attempts, and copious amounts of alcohol consumed.
Yet beneath it all, our insides are rattled as we wonder, when will this all be done?
There may be no greater evidence of a generational divide than how people of different decades view the topics of health and longevity.
While younger populations have developed a seeming obsession with prevention and preservation, those who have come before us remain devout to a mindset of thoroughly enjoying their time on this planet.
Why is it so hard to admit the feelings that arise when we acknowledge that for many of us, things we had worked years to build – be it relationships, businesses, or, yes, lifestyles – effectively have been dismantled without a moment’s notice?
Where is the grieving? When do we get to talk about what we’ve lost?
