[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who find the silver lining must’ve had crazy busy lives before. I don’t need a pandemic to spend time with my kids or prioritize family. So no, none of us are happier. We miss our lives. [/quote]

Us too. I can’t believe all of these posters don’t miss:

Sharing meals with family and friends at home and at restaurants
Watching their kids participate in their chosen fun activities 
Letting their kids have play dates 
Shopping in person without a mask

My life was well balanced before, because we made that a priority. Reasonable commutes, not too many time commitments. We were very happy (and we knew it!) and we miss it very much. Especially seeing older relatives.[/quote]

Same.  
I can’t complain about quarantine. It’s relaxing. There’s no stress.  But, my kids miss their friends. Everything feels a bit lonely!  Connecting over zoom or FT just isn’t the same.  Plus, every day is the same.  I think humans were designed to have new experiences, it’s what brings us joy.  It’s how we learn.  So...yes...it’s been nice and relaxing...but also boring and lonely, if that makes any sense?[/quote]
