Interesting…. It’s funny, back in the early 2000s I had a very strong urge to become Muslim and move to Damascus. The closest I ever got to a religious experience. I’d locked myself away to do cold turkey… I’d started to get overly naughty with what I put in my body. I was not in a good space, during that time I was getting voices in my head and all sorts. Looking back I’m glad I didn’t, I would’ve gone to what’s become a war zone. After two weeks of sweating, flu like symptoms and hallucinations I started to get back to normal… well I say normal, not sure I’ve ever quite got there but I’m a lot healthier and actually alive and not fully mad, which can’t be said some some friends I had along the way.

To be honest, when I see people wearing a mask out it doesn’t bother me. I tend to just think well they have their reasons and I know nothing about them. Yes it makes no sense wearing one outside but lots of things I do make little sense other than to me so it’s cool.

I still wonder if the person you saw was also trying to hide rather than overly health concerned? I remember working with kids through Covid who became very withdrawn and used masks to hide themselves long after it being mandatory. One I met recently, now 19-20 years old and they spoke to me in a very familiar way. It was days later before I realised it was someone I’d worked with several times before.

A bit of a ramble there but good to make your acquaintance.
