Another wonderful post. I love spending time with you through your writing. And I relate so much! I don't feel able to write much while I'm working full time in the middle of term, but reading this is so inspiring and soothing. There is so much peace here and I am glad you've found it. I have similar feelings about the pandemic. Protected from the tragedy and misery that it caused for reasons I was uncomfortable with, the truth is I found a way of life I preferred. Slower, with less invitations. Meeting for a flask of tea in the park with your closest friends. And then just staying home. Beautiful!
I have also realised that I find no end time incredibly uncomfortable. I have started to suggest end times when I feel comfortable with the person. And maybe going forward that can be a measure of whether I want to meet up, ie do I feel comfortable enough to suggest an end time?
Thanks for all your writing, it brings me joy and connection to read your thoughts.
