10 Things you most definitely miss about life before corona

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Remember when we were happy? Back in the corona-free days… It feels like a lifetime ago! Or is it just me?
Covid-19 turned the world upside down, so if you’re a citizen of this planet, your life has probably been on hold for the past year or so (if not, then lucky you!). Life as we knew it is long gone and we’re all trying to cope with the new reality.
There are so many things we miss from back in the days, so I asked around and gathered my favorite answers from life before corona:

1- Hugging

“I was never a touchy-feely person before corona but I plan on hugging all the people I love as soon as I get my vaccine shot.” – Nadine, 23

I feel you Nadine! We all plan on doing the same.

2- Maskless outings

“Not wearing a mask before heading out. This one is number one for me.” – Philippe, 12

This one’s number one for everybody Philippe!

3- Happy hours!

“Do you remember the time we used to sip from each other’s drinks in soirées? Simpler times… Although sometimes I wonder how we used to be so unhygienic sharing our drinks with our friends all the time.” – Mayssam, 23

4- Wearing lipstick

“I haven’t put on lipstick since 2019. I can’t wait for maskless life to be back so I can go back to wearing bold lipstick colors like I used to.” – Sarah, 24

I feel you girl!! I hope brands go overboard with their post-covid lipstick collections because we definitely need it!

5- The energy!!

We used to have so much energy before, even after a busy day. Now I’m just a potato couch trying to find the energy to get through the day… I miss having this energy!” – Karim, 24

6- Going to school

“Let’s be real, we miss school! We were excited to skip a few days, weeks or even months for some of us, but now it’s too much. I never thought I’d say this, but I can’t wait to be back to school! Hopefully in September!” – Gabriel, 17

7- Meeting new people

“I miss socializing in real-life. It’s not the same behind a screen.” – Aya, 16

8- Going to the gym

“I’m literally the biggest procrastinator when it comes to exercising but I miss actually having the option of hitting the gym if I feel like it.” – Nour, 18

9- Travelling

“I know we’re technically allowed to travel but my corona-anxiety won’t allow me to. I can’t wait to be on a plane! Destination anywhere!” – Mariam, 22

10- Going to the hairdresser

“Yes, really. I haven’t been taking any risks corona-wise but the first thing I’m doing after this whole thing dims down is going back to my hairdressing routine.” – Karma, 22

We didn’t know we were living the good life until it was gone. So tell us… What do you miss the most?
