    I’ve had this experience too. It’s oddly social isolated to live a little more dedicated to the world around you rather than strictly yourself. My family thinks I’m super weird for using a bike to get everywhere and being vegan. The world we live in is overall too dedicated to convenience and comfort, even when it is actively killing us. It has comforted me that I’m doing my best, but I think the floods and fires will need to be literally at our doors for anyone besides people like you and me to do anything.

      I feel you on the social isolation. It’s nice to hear that other people feel this way though. Couldn’t agree more with what you’re saying.

      A wise person once told me “What can you do if you live in a shoe? Move down the block, live in a sock.” It’s a bit absurd, just like life, but I like the phrase because it reminds me that despite how futile things can seem, at least we can say silly things that rhyme, and have a bit of fun.
