Well, we made it.
For the past two years we were on our own--no, not in the pure survivalist sense because we did need doctors, supermarkets, online retailers, vaccine makers, technology, and so on--because we were forced to make our own decisions to save our lives and livelihoods.
The experts and government leaders changed their mind every month or so. The catch-phrase "often wrong but never in doubt" had never been more true.
We found that we didn't need to work in offices, go out to eat, attend classes, travel, work out in gyms, or use mass transit as much as we thought we did, if at all. We didn't need to live in cities and left crowded conditions for the sake of the health of our families.
More of us discovered that we could live without the approval or disapproval of social media. We found that the only thing holding us back from making right-for-us but unpopular decisions was the fear of what other people might say.
Our physical selves are constrained, but our minds are freer than they were two years ago.
Happy New Year!
