Honestly, the amount of work I have done on myself with my therapist, the demons I have tamed, and the strength and anchoring it has given me is something that has completely transformed how I will live the rest of my life. I made some friends I probably wouldn't have if the pandemic hadn't totally changed how we socialise.I learned I could reject the expectation that you "must" have a full-time job, even if you don't like it, and I stopped caring for capitalism's valuation of my workI started doing things just because I want to, with no care for how they are received or if they are an "effective" or "useful" use of my timeI really learned to say no hahaI allowed myself to spend money on something I really wanted to do, and I think it means I've overcome that Indian middleclass terror of spending your savings?

With so much not going well with the world, at almost all levels of abstraction, what are the things that are still great? In fact, what are the things about your own life that have improved over the past two years? I thought this would be a good way to (re)gain some perspective.
