Walking Thoughts: Does anyone else believe that the lifting of restrictions and mandates was a less celebratory occasion than previously thought?

A thought I had while walking. I, much like many others during 2020 looked forward to the day where restrictions and mandates would be lifted. I couldn't wait to be able to do certain things and see people I haven't in a long time.

Well, within the last month or so that day slowly started to occur as state governments lifted restrictions if they deemed that enough people had been vaccinated. Finally! I thought. The day has come. But when it did I didn't feel quite like I thought I would like I thought that I should. What I looked forward to in anticipation I felt only apathy and the phrase, "Okay, that's cool...I guess."

I don't know if this made any sense. It sounded better in my head while I was out for my nightly walk. But did anyone else feel differently than they thought they would?

I think this makes total sense. There’s so many facets to consider, angles, perspectives and anxiety/anxiousness. Things are different now, finding the “new normal” is yet to be determined. I totally think your feelings are valid. Thanks for sharing!
