Anyone else feeling dread about life returning to normal after the covid pandemic?

Yes yes i know. What i am suggesting toes the line of what is considered controversial and presumptuous.

I miss the days when we were in lockdown and the entire country is peaceful and…. empty. We had to work from home and that got rid of the dreaded daily commute to and fro work.

Streets were empty, felt like a zombie apocalypse lol. We all were experiencing a kind of solidarity that hitherto has not happened in singapore for the past 2 decades (Sars pandemic).

Of course i do not wish to see lives lost to covid, and am happy that the virus has mellowed compared to previous variants, but i miss the quiet and peace during the height of the covid pandemic.

I enjoyed the peace as do you. I don’t have the dread anymore though cause I can finally be at peace with normalcy as well

I feel ya OP. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Personally always preferred hanging out with only 1 or 2 people rather than a large group if I had to go out. Otherwise I’d stay home and only go out to buy food/groceries.I also enjoyed the safety distancing because I’m just not very comfortable with physical contact naturally. So it felt like a really comfortable period for an introvert like me.

I miss how air fist bumps were actually an appropriate thing to do at work. God forbid we did a handshake or a proper fist bump!!!

I just feel ugly and don’t want to take off mask
