on my mind I made it out to see the cherry blossoms on the National Mall last weekend before peak bloom ends, and even in a pandemic, there were still people allll over the place! The unapologetic laughing, playing, running, dancing, and hugging on display was heartwarming but surreal. I’m super grateful to be half vaccinated (second dose scheduled in a few weeks), so I’m hopeful…but it’s still strange to be around crowds of that size and not worry. When are we finally going to be okay? Can we just enjoy the beauty of the flowers and get annoyed by everyone’s selfie sticks like the before times?
