Digital Kabuki Mask

An update on Mark's COVID status, reflecting on his support through the years, surpassing 500K COVID deaths in the United States, hearing from an old friend out of the blue recently, comparing and contrasting our memories of each other, not remembering myself the way others report, my lack of self-esteem impacting both my memories and my living experience, wondering if I was cooler as a kid, feeling burned out with school, the trend toward infantilizing adults in the workplace, fawning as a response to the current culture, and feeling beholden to the person you've pretended to be on social media.
