discussion The last time life felt normal to you?

[BrentB]

So of course for 98% of us, anything pre-covid/March 2020 would be considered a significant checkpoint of normalcy. But more specifically, what was your last memory(ies) of life feeling normal to you?

 

I think, for me, three specific time periods come to mind. I remember the earliest memory of everything feeling normal was around 2005, for some reason. It felt like things started to change weirdly (I noticed a slight decline in music to ring-tone raps & T-Pain-esque auto tuned hit songs). And I noticed music becoming slowly more sexualized.

 

Then more recently 2015 also felt normal & like things were beginning to look bright for disenfranchised groups (more LGBT & POC characters in shows - Sense8 & How To Get Away With Murder among the many gems  ) before "woke" & "SJW" started being used ironically.

 

And the most recent was December 2019 for me. Covid felt like something that could boil over in China and it was before Kobe Bryant & his daughter passing .

I never had a normal life. I came into this world unwanted by my father side, because I was not named after my father or grandpa.
