Reflections of eachother
Overlapping lives
Caught in invisible orbits
Carefully curating
Our inner circles
Selectively expressing
Calculated withholding

It also stirs the feeling of how distant yet close we all are. I can best describe it as a layer of glass that surrounds us, a glass made of fear, distrust, and maybe even insecurity. There’s a shallowness and distance from interacting through the glass but there’s also a risk of trying to move past the glass as it may break and cut us. It takes patience and care to move past the glass, and everyone is so busy that there’s little time to be careful and mindful, myself included. Now it feels like being surrounded by long lost friends and family encased in glass boxes.
