The rules are finally being relaxed after a long seven months in isolation. Though we were allowed to only meet with one household, my paranoia got the best of me. I also saw our other household bubble twice.
Isolation is gruelling even for those who claim they are home bodies. Having your partner as your only friend in lockdown, despite how rich and fruitful the relationship is, is still tough because we were not meant to only interact with one person; we weren’t meant to be so stagnant.
This week, I tagged along on a work trip with my husband, despite still working from home and it felt like a slice of heaven. The freedom of sitting for a tea by myself in the city was exhilarating. Seeing something new and doing a little discovery alone felt liberating.
