I spent the last week in a kind of mental stupor, with background stress slowly going off my mind. Booster got me ten times more sick than the previous two doses combined, but at least it'll last a while.

From time to time, I get hit by the amount of time that past, but it's so rare I end up shocked by it.

This was two-and-a-third years ago. I'm on the way out and my niece is developing so ludicrously fast it's straight up saddening how much I missed and will miss. Despite everything wrong between us, I even miss my father. Every day before and since felt so dense with events and information, but when it's the norm, it's all too easy to lose track of those tiny changes, especially while everything tries to be in the spotlight. Nothing observant, sure, but I rarely slow down while remaining lucid enough to notice or reassess.

Take care.
