That's so true, the rise in remote work culture was revolutionary!

Fair enough. That also meant less pressure to socialize. 😛

Other people finally getting some very basic knowledge about how to open doors using your elbows (or your butt 😂) and thinking twice before touching anything in a public transport.

Deactivated stupid "press and wait" buttons for pedestrians at the traffic lights.

Shops were not too crowded 😉

Yes to them all! 

I used to be mad about touching the bars and everything while traveling in the train because they looked so dirty lol. One healthy habit I developed post COVID was regularly sanitizing my phone once I was back home, having a sanitizer in my bag at all times, washing hands with soap after collecting any home delivery, etc. Hygiene habits have definitely improved for a lot of people.

I was actually going out about the same amount as before because medical appointments didn't stop.

I liked how accessible things became. I was actually trying to get a library card in Feb 2020 but there was a glitch and they were insisting I had to go into the branch despite it not being accessible. All the sudden March 2020 they could issue me a card without going into s branch.

I also have noticed a huge reduction in people saying oh you're lucky you get to stay at home so much when I explain not working full time due to being disabled.

Let's just admit it that we're all really glad for the advancements that followed the COVID outbreak. That phase was truly life changing, in some aspects, for the better. I hope you're well and healthy, my friend! 🙂🫂

@trueconfidant123  Ooh during the quarantine, I landed a journalism internship ...  Honestly... I got the opportunity mostly because not many people were willing to go out into the field... you know, with COVID and all. But still I was genuinely happy. Every single day felt like standing in the middle of danger and yet I’d never felt more alive. You could see the good, the bad and the downright ugly... and even though what I was doing felt small, it also felt quietly revolutionary. D@mn I miss that..I cant believe I used to be that ..lol

But hey that must have been an experience of a lifetime. I'm so proud of you for taking up that role and doing the great work in the midst of a pandemic. It's really brave of you.

I was in high school back then, so not having to wake up early and leaving the warmth of my bed for attendance  and to deal with teachers who are so loud for no reason in such early hours was really epic.

I know right 🤣

Online school was so hilarious. I remember brushing my teeth during the first lecture and my teacher calls out my name for attendance. I spit the toothpaste panicking and I was like -

definitely! Or me pretending that my screen is glitching or got troubles in my Internet connection once the teacher starts to call us out randomly for questions about what they were explaining (I had no idea what they were talking about lol)

Exactly lol, I once pretended a broken voice just so I could escape a question. Later on I felt so guilty and I had to study hard to memorise all the formulae.
