My life has completely changed because of covid. I used to see live music 2-3 times per week before covid. During covid, all my favorite local music venues had to close and then closed permanently. Now, the only real live music venue is an hour drive away. That's too hard to drive when you work full time. Even on the weekends, sometimes it's too far for us, so we skip on the music unless there's a band we really want to see. So now my husband and I see music maybe once per month. Music used to be my therapy -- it's my refuge, and same as dancing to live music. And now that's pretty much gone. And, when we did get out for music recently at an outdoor festival, no one wore masks and I got covid for the second time! So, it's still not safe to see music, especially indoors but even outdoors.

My husband and I now stay home most weekends doing nothing - well, we run errands and shop and take short drives, but we don't do much anymore because of covid.

Covid has effected everyone and in different ways - some far more severe than others, including death and losing jobs and businesses. My father got covid and we are convinced that covid made his lung disease worse - he died only 2 months later after getting covid. It was a rapid progression.

So, no, you are not alone - it is something that everyone is dealing with, in their own way.
