I miss hugs,
i miss human interaction,
i miss gathering with my community, engaging with them face-to-face,
and i miss traveling/filling-up-the-adventure-and-knowledge-tank.
I guess I miss (but tbh, it’s not really a big deal)
Celebrating holiday festivities and going to an event or show,
going out on a dinner date.
What I don’t miss
Over working for no good reason or for no good overtime,
doing my “going out hair” every day,
caring about stupid things,
impatience.
What I’ve enjoyed
Spending more time with my partner, my family,
feeling like there is ample time to stop, look around, breathe,
discovering how to cook… consistently,
rediscovering my love for gardening,
remembering how living quieter, smaller, more introverted has its pleasures.
What I learned
That the community we surround ourselves with — family, friends, neighbours — is more important than I ever gave credit,
that all of us can be on different paths and the least we can do is be curious and empathetic,
that 2020 has been a real shit show, but our community is what will get us through this,
that I need to learn more.
