Conventional Wisdom

I was asked by a roommate how I’m able to tune out my OTHER roommates as well as I do. This is as close an answer as I can give. I just seem to be fairly good at pretending distracting things (and/or people) aren’t there. That, or I’m just used to the rest of the world doing it’s own thing without me and learned long ago to carry on regardless… in isolation… by myself… WHY AM I SO DESPERATELY LONELY?!?!??

…wow, THAT got weird fast.

(Historical Notes: I’ve seen people making “I was practicing social distancing BEFORE it was cool” jokes pretty much all spring… and I scoff at them for thinking that’s a JOKE)
