We have arrived at the one-year marker of lockdown, and I figured now would be a good time as any to attempt to distill the jumbled thoughts Iâve collected over the past year into a single coherent worldview. The past 365 days have offered me the chance to declutter, rearrange and categorize the changes Iâve accrued. Because what are seismic shifts in our collective and individual thought if not the opportunity to realign our value systems? To fully realize the fleeting nature of our lives, and to fully embody the sheer luck of making it to the other side of 365 with my health and the health of my loved ones. In other words, I owe it to myself to take the current moment to reconcile the past with the present.
