Anyone else feel like people are just acting these days?

Lately when I’m on the Ave, it feels like everyone’s kind of playing a role—like we’re not really connecting the way we used to. Whether it’s dating, making new friends, or just casual small talk, there’s this weird sense that people are guarded or trying to be what they think they’re supposed to be.

I get it—life’s been a lot, and it doesn’t help that community isn’t really built into our lives anymore. Religion used to fill that space for some, but it can feel a bit exclusionary these days, especially with how diverse Delray is.

Just wondering if anyone feels the same way…
