I started the piece in January 2022 as things were getting increasingly catastrophic. I was thinking a lot about the doomsday clock, the end of the world, and the feeling that as each year passes, we inch closer and closer to doom. I used to be obsessed and terrified of the end of the world when I was a kid, the thought of 2012’s apocalypse would make me stay up at night crying. I even had a ritual of praying three times a day hoping it would be enough to save my soul. that obsession is now no longer as prominent, but instead spread thinly, covering a lot of surface area in the back of my mind. Not thick enough to weigh me down, but present enough to dampen every moment.
