stranger

The last few years have been a crucible for me, so it's strangely weird when I happen to find out that for some people that I used to know, their life just went on as normal and things are pretty much the way they were in many ways, only further developed. 

I guess it makes sense, but it seems strange somehow. 

I don't even live in that world anymore and I have no association with those people - with anyone I knew from 2009 to 2019 - although I do think about them. They are alive to me in that sense, and I pray for them. 

Same with everyone I knew from Sydney Church of Christ.
