4.0

This was a really cool story, and I appreciated hearing someone else's perspective of living through the pandemic. However, there were a lot of emotional triggers in this one for me! The worry about raising a child, that child growing up and going away to college, being an empty nester and relying on your relationship with your partner, eventually growing old with your partner and what comes from that, the aging of your own parents, the existential crisis of climate change, so many things. I have to remind myself that she wrote this in the first half of the pandemic, when things felt very, very different than they do now. But maybe that's the way things actually are? Maybe the way things are in this stage of the pandemic is just allowing us to ignore and cover up the truth of how hard the world is.
