#(and ofc covid IS still a factor now but by the time I could return to work my area had already 'forgotten' about it so no social impact)

As someone who essentially did not experience the pandemic and consequential quarantine it is Bizarre to listen to songs written about it.

#for the record no it's not that i got lucky or anything it's just that coincidentally my family's life had a whole bunch of shit hit the fan #in such a way that Literally by the time quarantine was starting I already had left work to farmsit for like 2 years or whatever #during which I barely went anywhere bc A) I dont drive B) no one who could drive was there consistently and C) I was up to my neck #in farm nonsense. #I DID sometimes go out mask up etc but I was a shut in outside of work anyways and then had to leave for smth so far removed #that like it just. did not impact me overall mentally that a quarantine was going on #like family got sick (tho I WAS lucky that no one i knew got it Bad. i'll admit to that much) #but otherwise quarantine just may as well not have existed at all to my sib and I #like remove the quarantine and that period of my life would've basically played Exactly The Sam3 #so I hear songs or see art or articles or posts reference it and I always Lag #people reference 2019/2020 as a Significant time and I'm always without fail like #ik why it was significant to ME but why was it significant to y'all-- ohhhhhh. right. quarantine #v bizarre to feel so detached from a nigh unmissable event in human (or at least usa) history. esp when it was several fucking years long #(and ofc covid IS still a factor now but by the time I could return to work my area had already 'forgotten' about it so no social impact) #blablablah
