A man, who was a boy when I last spoke to him, just slid into my DMs. I have a feeling the isolation is making him nostalgic. I started to think about the road not taken. A life not led. Perhaps it's the benefit of time or knowing the world as it is now.

A man, who was a boy when I last spoke to him, just slid into my DMs. I have a feeling the isolation is making him nostalgic. I started to think about the road not taken. A life not led. Perhaps it's the benefit of time or knowing the world as it is now. I felt... relief. Twenty-year-old me may not have felt this way at the time but here's to near misses, and being grateful for the person you did end-up with during a pandemic.
