Disenchantment with life

You sound depressed Stillness. You are lucky enough to attend the theatre but concentrate on other people's attire instead of enjoying the moment. If you want to dress up and feel good, why should what other people wear affect you?

Traffic increases as do vehicles on the road. Most families have at least 2 cars.

Yes there are more fat people, but they probably despise themselves for being overweight, or maybe have medical issues that causes this. Who wouldn't wish to be slim!

Life is what you make it. You can wake up and see the world in a negative way, or maybe enjoy the sunshine, birdsong, that person who says a cheery hello. Look for the good in the world, it is there.

Is it just me or has life (people?) changed so much and not for the better post covid? I’m not sure if I’m depressed, just getting old and miserable, or if this is really happening. Every way I turn things seem to be changing and it’s getting quite rare now for me to like those changes. Eg I went to the theatre yesterday…quite a big production ....I’m sure a few years ago people made the effort to dress nicely for it but now they’re in shorts, jeans, tee shirts …and how fat are people these days?! Sorry, I know that’s not the word to use but it’s how I feel. Today, living by a busy road, I saw constant traffic queuing to get into our town for hours and hours. Windows down, music deafening, litter thrown out of windows. It seems like people don’t want to stay at home any more..Oh I could go on and I guess it’s all trivial but it adds up…I’d love to hear how others perceive things now. (Rant over).
