Talk about any major life events, milestones, or other important things in life that have been disrupted by the pandemic.
The things that feel different this time of year - as we prepare for the fall and another surge to hit us, is the expectation that there will be a contraction of life again. And more shutdown coming. So we are trying to use these last days of summer here in the Northeast USA to get out as much as possible - to swim in lakes, ponds, streams, pools that have access. Go for walks, hikes, strolls with the dog. See friends at a safe distance in our backyards or on the street. These are not tears of sorrow but tears of gratitude, of strength. We WILL get through this harsh time...together.

Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.
Currently, I don't find it too difficult to maintain social contact. I attribute this to how advanced technology has become. In addition to living with my younger brother and single mother, I keep in close contact with my high school friends and college friends. The pandemic has made it more difficult for me and my high school friends to see each other but we use the internet to contact instead. My brother and I still go on walks but at relatively abnormal hours to avoid any interactions with other people. Overall, the pandemic hasn't profoundly influenced by social contact and movement since technology has allowed for me to circumvent this problem.
