I find myself frequently reflecting on the past… a lot. It appears that reality has undergone significant changes over the past few years. Interestingly, I’m not alone in this observation. When I spoke to a few of my colleagues, they shared my sentiment, agreeing that something has indeed changed; but like me, they are unsure of what it actually is. Since the end of the pandemic, there’s been an unsettling feeling that something is amiss. However, I struggle to pinpoint the exact nature of this change. It’s as if we’ve all been transported to a different dimension of space and time.
Actually, this all reminds me of season 3, episode 15 of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Yesterday’s Enterprise” where the character Guinan senses a change in reality, and yet she isn’t able to pinpoint what it really is, other than “this isn’t right” and “something’s changed.”
As absurd as this may seem, it’s simply how I feel. Something has indeed changed. This entire reality feels “off” in some way.
How about you? Have you noticed this change, or am I just rambling and not making any sense?
