faces and bodies

I think the face is what makes you want to be around someone, talk to them, know them. The body makes you want something else entirely.

Face masks dehumanize people. We become mannequins. Disposable. Bodies. I can’t get to know someone wearing a mask. We may as well be texting. It’s not worth it. I can learn so much more about someone when I can see the bottom half of their face, my monkey brain thinks.
