I Wrote This At 4am Sick With Covid Today

The world is so quiet right now. The emails have stopped. The group chats are silent. No one expects anything from anyone at 4 AM. It is the only time in modern life where you are legally and morally allowed to do absolutely nothing.

That sounds like a rough night. Being sick at 4 a.m. often brings out a unique kind of vulnerability or "sick-brain" creativity. i wrote this at 4am sick with covid

So, I am writing this. Not because I have some profound insight to share with the world, but because the cursor on the screen is the only thing keeping me tethered to reality. The world is so quiet right now

I don't know what the next few days will bring, but I'm trying to focus on the present moment. I'm trying to take it one sentence at a time, one word at a time. It's not easy, but it's worth it. No one expects anything from anyone at 4 AM
