I just rediscovered this old recording I made during quarantine a couple years back. It's like a time capsule of all that was going on at that time spattered with my own thoughts and feelings as someone who is disabled and stuck at home with parents and sister. It was recorded in my car in a mostly empty parking lot. Hope you enjoy.

17 March 2020 - Quarantine Thoughts

This was recorded in 2011 when I was just 31 years old and I might have been driving my car as I recorded this. Who knows. I have on occasion brought a recording device with me when I drive because that seems to be when ideas are most likely to come to me. This was a series of thoughts provoked by the words of a former friend who said he couldn't be around me anymore because my depression was toxic to him. I suppose it makes a bit more sense to me now that I'm older and know better. But at the time I felt the need to tell someone, anyone, how I felt - even if it was just a recording which wouldn't be shared for another 13 years.
