We made it through 2020! Despite the uncertainty and the restrictions, I have to say that overall I don't hate or resent 2020—it wasn't my greatest year but it wasn't terrible either. I don't see it as a wasted year and am grateful that it treated me better than it did others. Really, my biggest grievance with 2020 is that it was a boring year, but I thankfully got through it largely unscathed unlike millions of people all over the world so I definitely took a moment to count my blessings. My biggest problem this year was having too much free time and not being able to go to bars or travel as much as am used to, but that also means I had more time for my hobbies new and old and saved a bit of money. Now we're in 2021 and obviously everything is still the same, so instead of celebrating the end of 2020 I'll just wait and celebrate when the pandemic is over. I hope everyone reading this has a good 2021! Stay healthy, take nothing for granted and get through this mess however best suits you.

Was going to post a pic from sunnier days but no, this is me today, January 3, 2021.

Thanks for supporting my blog ✌🏼

New username, who dis?

Finally got rid of my old username. Now I just need to figure out how to change my blog's URL without losing my google ranking but after that Between Distances will officially be history (haha).

Stay healthy, friends!

Hey, everyone!

Sorry if you're tired of seeing content related to the US election on here (around 10 people unfollowed me) but as an American citizen living abroad I was really invested in it because what happens over there affects me over here.
But the outcome of the election (pretty much the best thing to happen this year) also affects you, the global economy, the environment and how we interact with each other so it was hugely important.
Voting was a personal highlight for me. Even though I'm registered in Multnomah County, Oregon, where almost 80% of the electorate voted for Biden anyway, it felt damn good to symbolically tell Trump “You're fired” through my vote. Obviously, I wish the candidate would have been Bernie but whatever, Joe's still an improvement and Kamala is cool in my book so I was happy to vote for them. Also, am glad I took an extra sticker from the Democratic primary to slap on that envelope, which I'll keep as a memento.
Anyway, that's what's been keeping me busy lately.
And now back to our regular programming.

Today is Día de Muertos. The holiday, which is basically the Mexican way to celebrate All Saints' Day, mixes Catholic and pre-Hispanic elements.
Given the current state of the world, today is a good day to think of all those people who have died senselessly due to the negligence of governments or even individual politicians and remember how lucky we are to still be around.

I found these two skulls by a grave in the municipal cemetery of Orizaba, in the Mexican state of Veracruz, while strolling around there on a foggy morning in March of last year.
