Essay:

How should a person be?

In 2017 I separated and broke up with my ex-husband, Alex Banman because I could no longer took it. He doesn’t work. He doesn’t support my careers. He talked about quitting jobs and becoming a freelancer, having his own business, being independent. I was shocked, and couldn’t take any of it seeing it as his way of abandoning his responsibilities. I said I wanted a breakup. He was shocked. We continued to live together until 2023. A person should be mindful and caring. They should not be rash and all reactive. It has taken me ages to adapt myself to the current networks accelerating at a quick speed. I found this all quite strange. Is it because the Covid 19 still had some lingering effect? Now there is a hantavirus. I guess people are worried again. Etc.
