      same, I thrived in COVID. no more commutes, literal 4.0 terms because I can nap in between online classes and do homework on 2nd monitor but pay attention when the lecture gets somewhere fuzzy

      I was unemployed, isolated, and anosmic-- then covid hit and I was like, “hey everyone, welcome to the club! Yes, it does suck but at least now there’s people to empathize with.”

          Dang, that’s rough. I’m glad things turned around. Speaking to my own psychology: It’s easy to internalize a string of bad luck. Then when other people go through it-- whether in group therapy, a global pandemic, or a massive recession-- it shows how random or circumstantial life and luck can be. It helped me internalize it less and get out of my own way.

        Yeah I felt the same.

        Also afterwards it’s been rather easy to ask people to imagine if lock down had lasted for five years instead, and how they would feel about it.

    2016? That’s ancient history. 2020-2022 still holding me back. 2024 still feels new.

    I was 12 back then, now I’m 20, for me, that’s an eternity, and I always had found crazy that for other people is nothing but a blink of an eye.q

      Yes, because trump isn’t in jail yet, hopefully when he flees to Russia the military will shoot him down.
