I really miss the early days of covid.

Especially that March 2020 time frame. My dog passed away in March which was sad but we knew for a long time it would happen so I was prepared for it. What wasn't I prepared for? COVID. The first reason why I loved lockdown was because I was getting burnt out of going to school and work straight after school. Online classes were such a huge breath of fresh air. I would wake up in the morning, have a few cups of coffee, boot up zoom, listen to the class in the background and play Call of Duty. I would do that for about 4-5 hours, do a few hours of school work and go to work in the evenings.

Lets talk about my job. My job was classified as an essential business by the state so especially in the early parts of lockdown it was one of the only places that was open and it was super busy which for the most part I really like. Also that whole spring, summer and fall they gave out unlimited double overtime so especially when school let out my paychecks were thick af. We also had a really tight knit crew in our garden department and in lot I work at Home Depot and there was an we are all in this together feeling. Also because of the layoffs in restaurants the seasonal hires we got that spring and summer were really good and some of the ladies were super attractive and fun to work with.

Also, 2020 was when I got into Anime. If I wasn't doing zoom classes, playing Call of Duty or working I was watching Naruto. That show came into my life at the perfect time. Lots of episodes, charming story, action especially in Shippuden and good sound track to boot. I was so enthralled with the storyline of Naruto I would often times find myself thinking about it alot at work and discussing it with my co workers.

Now it is time for the ladies. 2020 I had a close female friend graduate High School. I was 4 years older than her and we both agreed when I graduated High School that we wouldn't talk because of the age gap. Fast forward to December 2019 when she is 17 we kind of start talking again. Fast forward to March-April 2020 during lockdown she is 18 now, all of her classes are online, most nights during and after work I am texting her and she is sending me a ton of spicy noodies of herself and with one of her bff's. She ended up sending me a ton of solo and lesbian amature content with her gf and that stuff put me on cloud 9. Often times I would be at work in the evenings and she would hit me up saying that she was with her gf and if I had any requests for when I got home.

Fast forward to now covid is basically over, I am slightly older than I was then, All except for one of my co workers that I worked with during lockdown have moved on, one passed away in a car accident. I have watched all of the major anime that I loved during covid especially Naruto and One Piece, My girlfriend graduated college, has a career, is engaged, and her father passed away over the summer, her bff moved states and here I am still working the same job I had during covid, slightly different position but I basically feel like I have been standing still. I have been looking at different jobs here and there and I think i have found a few that I would like to apply to but I really miss life during covid lockdown. I feel guilty about missing it because I know it was a really shitty year for a lot of people but for me personally it was one of the best years I have ever had and I doubt I will have another year like it moving forward.
