A peculiar thing about our brain: if we do a certain thing repeatedly over and over again, our brain develops a habit. It is called muscle memory. This is how I felt about 2021. I was consistently working from home the whole year. Going out to places that were taken for granted before like the malls, restaurants, cinema halls, etc. were not accessible anymore. It might sound materialistic but I have to confess I missed them and didn’t realize that they played a role however small it may be in my work-life balance.
