Looking back, lockdowns sucked in the moment. But when I look at it in aggregate, my life improved dramatically. A big part of that was prior to the pandemic I would hit the clubs and bars every weekend. With bars and clubs closed I was forced to do other things, like go outside to nature.
After a while the clubs re-opened but I realized I was no longer drawn to go to. My life on the weekends started to revolve around going outdoors rather than getting smashed. Eventually I made the biggest change and moved to Colorado to persue more outdoors.
If the pandemic never happened I would probably still be living in the city going to bars and clubs. So while there are many negative things about the past two years, for me it ended in a net positive.

I no longer really like doing crowded loud social things, just seems constructed and unhealthy (maybe I'm just feeling old in my late 20's?). Decided to axe my NYC lease and move to CO.
- chucksta 5y agoI was just talking about this yesterday, I got burned by what would have been pre-pandemic, a normal night out. I imagine there are a lot of people who lost that casual tolerance and aren't really willing to rebuilt it
