It’s the year the love of my life destroyed me. I’ll never forget 2021. I still love her. I lost my soulmate.
It’s okay to feel that way, even if you manage to turn down the intensity. You’re still whole and deserving of love, friend.
Honestly? I couldn’t remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.
Y’all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?
I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like “wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we’ll come get it in a week if youre still alive then.”
I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like “Whelp, we’re fucked.”
Fortunately I had accepted imminent death decades ago so while everyone around me was having existential breakdowns I could wander around, hand out hot water bottles, tea, and fuzzy blankets, and see how many times in a row it can be Taco Tuesday before they start to question their sanity.
2021 was vaccine and mask year for me, as a healthcare student. I remember it because I started my internship period, and the human contact got me out of my 2019 depression. I got a pretty good order of rotations and didn’t get COVID so I can’t complain.
Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.
- Didn’t have to commute.
- Saved money on home cooking.
- Meetings started on time and you didn’t have to walk to and from them.
- If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
- Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
- All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
- Didn’t have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.
