I was going to attend a shoot next week but it was canceled. I’m partially relieved because of covid (my kid is not vaxed yet). But I was also looking forward for some time alone away from my family after almost 2 yrs of wfh and the fact that I’m not going anymore also bums me out. And also feeling like a I’m a terrible human being on top of that too.

You are only a terrible human being if you didn’t come back. Maybe create space by sending your wife out for a getaway first. Assuming she will appreciate it, you can take that first to normalising “me” time aka self care.

Humans didn’t evolve to be isolated and constrained. COVID has really pushed our limits of surviving isolation.
