I Went Maskless Today!

 














I started wearing a mask three years ago, because I felt unsafe due to
COVID. I haven't been to the grocery store maskless since then.

It felt strange shopping for groceries without wearing a mask. I felt
so exposed. I wondered if someone had just coughed or sneezed in 
the aisle I was walking down. What germs am I breathing now? I
calmed myself down by thinking about how I've spent most of my
life maskless. What used to be normal has to start feeling normal to 
me again.

But wearing a mask wasn't all bad. When it was cold it helped to
keep my face warm, and I felt a lot safer if someone was coughing
their head off.

I don't believe my maskless days are over, but I'm gonna try to wear
them less and less until I feel comfortable not wearing them.
