(no subject)

I want go out. I want to go dancing. I want to go write in a coffee shop. I want to go to Oasis. I want to go wander down Queen West and stop in any store that looks interesting. I want to go hang out in the library for hours. I want to go to the Island. I want to visit my sister in Windsor. I want to see who's doing outdoor theatre. I want to see Pixie. I haven't been on the TTC since March.

I want to go to Pride. I generally avoid the actual parade because the crowds are too much, but I want to go to Pride. The fact that I think Pride should be cancelled and I am glad it's cancelled and if it wasn't cancelled I wouldn't go anyway and would probably be writing angry emails to the committee does not immunize me from being lonely.

Virtual does not substitute for any of these. It can be its own good thing, but it is something different.

I think it's important. I think it's worth it. I think it's necessary. But I think it's easier to do if we acknowledge that it isn't easy.
