The best part was not feeling like I should be doing something else.

I felt like sitting my lazy ass on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn was exactly where I was supposed to be for once.

One hundred. It was like having an excuse to be a loner while also contributing to society, but by your absence from it. You got the feeling that everyone was cooped up for the good of each other, trying to ride this thing out. A beautiful hybrid lonely-solidarity: a unique feeling that will never happen like that again.
