What is the Best Part of the Pandemic? - A Little Positively Always Helps

For me personally, COVID forced me to make my life healthier.

Being stuck inside, day after day, not conversing or meeting with anyone for the first few months nearly drove me insane. After getting sick of it, I decided to take steps to better my life. That included:

  1. Going to the gym. I've gotten in much better shape. The literal second the gym near me opened back up, I went to it 4-5 times a week, and I'm better for it.
  2. I gave up on Social Media. Basically, when I was younger, the internet was an escape from the every day world, but unfortunately, the online space has become the thing I need to escape from, and I realized that. First step I took was getting off of Facebook, Twitter, and every message board I belonged to except this one. I then filled the extra time with more outside activities that have been more enriching.
  3. I got stimulus checks from the government, even though I've been working the entire time during COVID. I reason that its our money anyway, and taxation is basically theft, so I have no qualms getting my money back. That combined with saving so much money on gas led to me spending my money on good things that made life more fun, including books, video games, and the like.

For the beginning part of it, I had way more free time so I spent a lot of time cooking. I was always a good cook but I've increased my skills even more now.

Last Spring when we were locked down and my company had just enough work to keep me on salary but not enough for me to be very busy. I was working from home and had everything done by noon so I could knock off after lunch. Me and my oldest son would go on a 2-3 mile walk along the river and have a picnic on the riverbank almost every day, then we'd come home and watch some cartoons. I'm actually very nostaligic for all the time I got to spend with him. I'm very grateful we had those couple of months.

Free money, I have an excuse to be a NEET, and I get a sense of schadenfreude knowing normalfags are socially isolated and forced to suffer the way I have suffered for years.
