I think about this so much with Covid -- a major life transition that hit us all at once, though of course in different ways. For my partner and me, it showed us with such clarity how much we'd been run ragged in our pre-Covid life. We've since been better at prioritizing social engagements with people we really care about or who are in our immediate community and we've both cut back on our work hours. I wish it didn't take a global pandemic to force us to slow down enough to realize all this, but the world just wasn't stopping for us otherwise. Great read!
