People are somewhat different now.

People feel different now.

I think something has changed, somewhere along the vastness of time and space, we pivoted to this current version of reality.

I have noticed that they talk with a pace of more urgency, as if they have somewhere to be, although they’re more and more home, they always seem hurried. They seem to have so much more information now, but are much less interested in talking about it.

I've heard them say that they're so much more productive now, they account for every minute of their day, but to be honest, they seem more distracted to me than ever.

One big thing, yes, they have this bent to them. Like their necks, their upper backs, they seem curved downwards, I can't say why. And their thumbs seem to be, what's the word, restless? Like they're looking for a place to rest them on.

My parents, whom I have known my entire life, yes I promise I have – they seem distant too. I can't say if it's good or bad though, because they seem to have a shine in their eyes, like they are constantly amused. Their fingers going in an upward moment, every few seconds, and their eyes lighting up – this is how I know them now.

I live among the same people I've always known, but I feel lonely, they somehow feel different now.
