I feel like I would really enjoy staying at home for the rest of my life (occassionally leaving for walks and swimming unless I get an estate big enough for both), because
Covid has showed me that I don’t like “not being able to leave home” because there is this feeling of freedom being restricted and then the only thing I want to do is to leave the house.
Yet it has also showed that remote work is a very real career option and that a lot of things can be done online (grocery shopping, takeouts, entertainment, socialization), I really don’t need to leave the house.
There is this burden everytime I have to leave the house because when I come back, the first thing I have to do is shower before I can touch anything else (habits from dorm life + covid and maybe a bit of OCD) then I feel like I am back into “home me” state. I read about rituals that doctors do and this feels a bit like that, my way of compartmentalizing between public mask and my actual self to some degree.
