2021 in my college friends

[chuckro]

In 2021, one of my college friends died in childbirth. One came out as genderqueer. One (ex-friend) got convicted of soliciting sex from a minor and put on the sex offender registry. Three had babies; several others moved and a bunch changed jobs. And most of the rest kept on keeping on.

And that's a good metaphor for the year. A lot of big, shocking headlines (both negative and positive), a lot of routine changes, a lot of stress, and overall a lot of life just continuing on.
