As LA heads slowly but surely into a second lockdown, I’ve been thinking a lot about this strange 2020 experience in quarantine. For people used to a world of constant motion, many of us have experienced, for the first time, months of standing still. •• When we press pause on normal routines, errands, and social obligations, we are forced to be with ourselves without distraction in a way we seldom are in our regular lives. •• This has led, at least for me, to a lot of self-reflection. Of what we’re actually doing day to day, of what we would like to build our lives towards, of the things we acutely feel the absence of and the things we actually don’t miss at all, some of which may have taken us by surprise. •• One of the gifts of travel is the temporary loss of your comfort zone. In a very different way, this pandemic has done the same thing. I want to believe we will come out the other side more in tune with ourselves, more aware, more focused on the things that actually matter. What do you think? . . . . . . #syros #greece #2020
