"naturally, mostly about Lindsey Buckingham" but of COURSE it is! :D Interesting analogy to the orbits of planets. I feel the same way about relationships, but I always imagined it as driving down a freeway. You'll drive about the same speed with other cars in your periphery, some cars zoon past, others the group passes. Some cars from your group take an exit, others join the group when they come from the on ramp. Sometimes you're driving alone, sometimes there's a LOT of cars around. I can't figure how to add "everyone drives the best they can when the highway patrol is in sight" to this analogy, though :D I've always been a homebody, having few (or sometimes even one) friend(s) I meet up with on a regular basis, so socially the pandemic didn't affect me that much. Existential dread and the realization of my own mortality was the big thing. As far as politics go, I'm thankful no one in my "orbit" has views opposed to mine. Thank you Democratic parents :D
