After weeks of restrictions on curbing the spread of the corona virus, government easing has been proceeding at the speed of light since last week. Of course, I am very happy that a little more normalcy returns to my life. However, I notice that the events of the past few weeks have left their mark on me and my loved ones.
Our different approaches to life in general and to problem situations in particular, which we had before the Corona crisis, have now apparently increased. Deliberate girlfriends are currently behaving even more cautiously, for some it almost takes compulsive moves if they continue to rush to shopping at 7 a.m. or wince at the sight of crowds of people in squares.
Other girlfriends can hardly be kept after the extreme restrictions. So while my friend was sitting in her favorite restaurant on the first possible appointment last Wednesday, booked the appointment for the pedicure and was planning her summer vacation, I still have a hard time with such promotions.
I notice that I am not yet relaxed enough in my head for decisions of this kind am. And even if the current easing now "allow" me a lot and I am now allowed to go to restaurants, cafés or shops again, I apparently still need some time to get out of my cautious "The day, the worry" strategy of the past few weeks for me find out.
Perhaps it is also because I can finally decide for myself how much trust I have in the respective situation. After the time in which I have consciously adhered to the generally prescribed rules and prohibitions, the only possibility of being able to choose myself feels like a little more freedom, which I enjoy a lot. And as much as I miss my social life and the spontaneity I have become accustomed to, I am currently taking the time to individually decide when to do what again and at what pace. And that's good for me.
