A very insightful and interesting perspective, Valori. I am one of those people in VA who are fully vaccinated and still wearing a face mask in public. My reason is twofold: I had not heard the announcement made by the governor and I also still don’t feel comfortable, personally, to not wear one in public indoor places. Outdoors is different for me. I admit that a lot of it is psychological and a habit now. I am also less “trusting” of those whom I don’t know than those who I do know. All that to say, if I bump into you at the store, I’ll be sure to not only take my mask off but likely give you a hug! ☺️🤗
Thanks for commenting over here, Rocio. It is hard to get activity on this platform -- everyone likes to stay within the comfort zone of Facebook! I felt (and still somewhat feel) exactly like you! My plan was to keep wearing my mask indoors for a while, but then freedom took hold! Once it was off, I felt like myself again! :) I am still a little nervous about being in close contact with people I don't know, mainly because I don't want to even get a mild case of COVID! But at least I'm not picturing myself hooked up to a ventilator anymore. We have all had so much to process and adjust to this past year -- no wonder our thoughts are all over the place!
And I thought I was the only one thinking like this! K
Nope! I think you have plenty of company! Actually, I thought I might be the only one until I posted this and started getting comments!
