Hello everyone,

We were discussing with a friend the other day and how Covid has one good thing when it was there: the reduced amount of socialization.

We are in our early 30s, so weekends get usually packed with one things on Friday evening, something on Saturday, sometimes Saturday evening too, and then you try to catch up with family on Sunday.

In the end, even if it feels very good to see people, sometimes it can be quite tiring too.

My current weekend was

  • a chill evening on Friday with a friend
  • nothing planned on Saturday until a social gathering at 6pm
  • nothing on Sunday

And I feel fucking great.

So that's it, just some random thoughts, what is your stance on the matter? Do you manage to keep time for yourself, or are you running from one event to another?

With me it depends on quality & depth.

If I socialize with a really good friend (or a romantic interest--which hasn't been for a while 🙁 ) every day, that invigorates me.

But if I drag myself out to even one hour long social event for a week I have to spend 8 weeks recovering. 🤣 (OK, maybe not that long, but you get the idea).
