In this short essay collection, Smith manages to address all of the weird emotions that have been driving me crazy since the beginning of the pandemic: feelings about time running too quickly, time having no purpose, having too much time... and guilt over all these feelings too, considering how relatively lucky I am. I'm not sure if I understand everything Smith has to say, but I appreciate her perspective and I'm glad she penned her intimations on these weird emotions.

This is a good reflection of the pandemic to read now, later into the pandemic when situations are much different than they were at the beginning. It is still relevant now as it talks about big ideas and slices of life. I do wish I had read this physically instead of audio though as I did find the essays challenging.
