I've never found a taste for cabbage, although it seems plenty of people have. Seems you have to get it farm fresh to get the full experience!
As for the lock down, it was a real eye opener for me. Breaking routine and having time to reevaluate our entire ways of life was helpful to some, and was very good for my own writing. But others it affected quite badly. Some people sort of just drifted away into a melancholy state, likely due to isolation, and never reentered public life. Others did quite the opposite. It's a shame to me that many I connected with in the past year were living their solopreneur dreams for almost a year only to return to "real life" and I never heard from them again and many deleted their blogs or never updated their social media pages. Unfortunately, while the pandemic had a positive effect on some people for sure, I think the massive leap back into hustle culture has been an overall negative.
I completely agree with your assessment on the pandemic and the return to hustle culture being a net negative! There were so many lessons to be learned during this time, but instead of listening, most of us were just waiting to "return to normal." Things will never be the same again, and the folks that are adapting to and embracing the new world, I hope, will see greater success long term, however that individual chooses to define "success."
