Do you feel more healthy than you did at this time a year ago? Less healthy? About the same?
As for my health I guess I feel about the same… I can tell I’m aging… maybe not as gracefully as I’d hoped but not sure I can blame the pandemic for that…so far I’ve been spared CoVid, but the specter is always there. I work at a theater and our doors are open, but will the audience come? Do I want them to? Each person is another potential source of infection. Where is the line between living your life with cautious optimism, and maximizing protective strategies by isolating? What’s the trade off between physically healthy and emotional deprivation? And if we answer that for ourselves throwing caution to the wind, is it fair for its potential impact on society? Yes, you can chose not to get vaxed, not to wear a mask, not to socially distance…but not sure you can then blame the government, the politicians, the news media, the overworked nurse or burned out doctor if you fall ill and are not getting the care or service you think you are entitled to. Too many people are focused on their individual rights, and not on what might be for the good of the whole.

Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.
not gonna lie i'm 100% a homebody so i was and still am fine with staying home and not going out but i was a bit salty when my mother banned me from going out on march 13th because on that day i was supposed to meet up with my friends and that was going to be the last time i saw them but i didn't get the chance to do that so i cried for the first week but then i was chillin'. when summer came and we didn't have to do any school work i was the happiest i've ever been like i forgot what being sad was like. yes i missed seeing my friends but i was doing great. i did not miss school at all nor did i miss the outside world. the only times i went out was when i was going to my mothers home but even then i would go directly to her car and then straight to the apartment. now that she cant really move much i have to go out and do the grocery shopping but that's all the outside time i have and it's still too much for me. i just want to stay home.
