This girl loves her Houston Astros Heart shirt

But for me, the This girl loves her Houston Astros Heart shirt but in fact I love this pandemic had a strangely inverse effect. Without the ability to move throughout the city to attend events and wave across a room at people I really didn’t know, I had more time to spend with friends and acquaintances in my Brooklyn neighborhood. Or rather, it wasn’t that I suddenly had more time, as the windows of our interactions remained brief—compressed by the demands of homeschooling and multiplying Zoom meetings—it was that I needed to greet the parents in line at school drop-off or the man who handed me a coffee from behind a mask; they were often the only people outside my family whom I saw. A whole new form of social sustenance grew up within a five-block radius of my house. I started to go for regular evening walks with a neighbor, and we grew genuinely close; we were each other’s decompression valves from the pressures of a hectic life largely contained within four walls. Parent friends came over to drink beer and play in our backyard with their kids; we weren’t going anywhere else. (A moment of appreciation for the birthday party circuit reprieve.) When the weather got warm, on a whim, I invited a parent friend last minute to come with us to Jaccob Riis beach with his two little boys, and he came. He told me of his years working as a PA on film shoots and how he met his wife when she was married to another man. We’ve texted maybe twice since, and yet I still feel sort of close to him. I mean, the bad art friend thought that she was genuinely close to the woman who mocked her behind her back—who is to say what really constitutes intimacy?
