A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how reopening is making me anxious because it was so nice to have a break from shidduchim. There are some other aspects of this lockdown that I’ll really miss.
-Charming backyard weddings. I really wanted one.
-Having an easy way to feel like I was doing everything right. I will miss that mental checklist – mask, 6 feet, wash hands…So specific and contained and gratifying in its way.
-Not working. I really didn’t enjoy this at first but I’ve gotta say I adapted quite well. Can’t I be a stay-at-home single?
-An emptier schedule overall. Nothing pulling me in different directions. Feeling the need to do less because there was nothing to do anyway.
I know I’m not alone in having a hard time transitioning back; it’s perfectly normal to feel this way. Is there anything in particular that you will miss about the last few months?
You can still have the backyard wedding.
Love the “stay at home single!”
I feel the same way about the last point. It was so relaxing, no fomo – everyone was stuck home
True, I can still have the backyard wedding. I guess I’m just thinking if there’s another side in this equation and they aren’t quite as charmed…
