My problem with being reflective and introspective is that it often leads to a dark place. That's when I can even form a singular thought to begin with. I actually was reading a post today that kind of took me off guard perhaps like the one you read. I actually didn't finish it. I could see where it was going and I'm still really conflicted about it. You are right though, Covid changed a lot of things. Like even little things that just kind of reverberate on the periphery.

That can definitely happen. I was jilted a little by the post yesterday and it surprised me. I started writing this post yesterday and had to leave it in draft form and step back because I could see it leading down a dark path. Often, with me the darkness is just the first phase that has to be passed through. I miss so many things from the pre-Covid world! Maybe we'll get to experience some of those things we miss again in our lives.
I do too, but as I have said, it feels like a lot of those people and things have moved on without us. It's pretty rare that my wife and I go out to eat anymore. We very often just get takeout. It's like we found a new appreciation for just being together and it isn't that that is a bad thing, but it can't be everything. If that makes sense.
I understand. It’s the very same way with us. We don’t really socialize with anyone anymore. People are either too busy, have moved on, or have become political extremists who just want to talk politics. I miss time with friends.
Haha yep, that sounds about right!
I miss time with friends too. It always seems so hard to 'just catch up' - everyone seems busy or preoccupied. I need it more than ever as connections online are becoming fewer, and I'm craving that physical human connection.
Same here! What I miss most is just the unstructured, impromptu hang time of the pre-Pandemic days. I remember talking for hours and losing all sense of time.
