As pandemic restrictions ease, life begins to settle back to normal. But it will never be normal. 15% of my life has been spent wearing masks. I spent two years on zoom, and coming back to school has been weird. Seeing kids maskless sitting next to masked, seeing kids in school but still on zoom class while hanging out with friends, and seeing masks strewn about and discarded is weird. Coming back is weird. But, in the end, that is what life is now. We must reconnect with the new normal.
