I felt silly the first time I put on gloves. Self-conscious, actually, worried what the others might think, afraid I'd appear weak. I sensed this in me and had to bite my lip and just put them on. When walking, I have to force myself to steer clear of the others. It doesn't feel natural to me and I worry what the others might think. But, I buck up and do it anyway.
I get it. It's our nature (or maybe it's just mine) to be the pillars of strength, impervious to external threats. Manly. The virus doesn't know gender and it doesn't pay attention to borders. It's an equal opportunity infector.
If any of this resonates, do me a favor. Put those feelings aside. Be safe. Don't take chances and go out of your way to show your manliness.
We want you to be here when this passes.
