Performing Normal
from Kind of Blunt · host Adam Williams
Performing NormalThere’s a strange expectation that life should continue as normal, even when everything feels anything but.In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to carry the weight of the world quietly while still replying to emails, attending meetings, and showing up as if nothing’s changed.This is a reflection on the absurd social choreography of everyday life, the performance of being fine, and the small ways we cope by keeping things moving.It’s not about what’s happening in the world. It’s about how we behave alongside it. And what kindness might look like when we’re all just trying to get through the day.
