Staying away from people to keep healthy felt odd at first

Like I didn’t care for human beings. It felt cruel.

Going for a walk was stressful. Always worried about getting too close to others as they passed. Making sure to give six-feet of space, so no one gets scared of possibly catching COVID-19.

When I would see someone walking towards me on the sidewalk, I’d hope they couldn’t see the look of irritation on my face as I realized it’s time to move over to the street to give them room to pass.

Now, I make sure to only walk on the street and keep the sidewalk clear so that others can pass with ease. So that I feel safe and less stressed about catching anything.
