Today, in three different news articles I read, writers included the phrase: “Before Time” in their headlines. This is new to me, so I looked into what it meant.
While it sounds like something lifted from a SciFi novel, the phrase is meant to convey a thought or action someone took before the COVID-19 pandemic.
An example would be how people went to and worked from office locations, “before time.” Perhaps the writers all had something else in mind when they used this phrase for the first time. I sure hope so.
I really hope that the current pandemic doesn’t last as long as this phrase implies. To me, this phrase says nothing is the same now, and nothing will be the same in the future. That’s a dreadful thought.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
