How coronavirus infected my brain: anxiety, the internet, and keeping up to date
While I've been following all Covid-19 related news and keeping track of the numbers with near morbid fascination, I've found that being in lockdown has made me happier. It has also given me perspective on life.<p>As cliche as it might sound, I've realized that what truly makes us happy is family, friends and time to devote to hobbies. I've been chatting with my family everyday, calling friends, playing board games with my wife. I'm producing music again, learning new things again as opposed to just being "productive".<p>I used to order in food 3-5x a week. Now I'm making all meals from scratch and really diving into what makes  good food taste, well, good.<p>I haven't bought anything except groceries in a month and honestly, I haven't even missed it.<p>I really don't know how I'll approach the world post-Covid-19. The thought of going back to the old life and routines seems a little absurd now.
