What did you learn about yourself from lockdown #1 and will do differently ?
How will you maintain your physical, mental and spiritual health this time ? What’s your priority for the next few days? |

I learnt that I spend all my money on days out with the kids. When that wasn't possible I saved loads and that my head WOULDN'T explode doing simpler things and staying home with them more often. |

Maybe you can take it to the next level and learn how to cook this time ?  |

"I learned that going through a divorce when you’re locked down together isn’t great.
Still, it will be nice to just check it by having another go  "
We found separate bathrooms fixes all marital problems  |

"I learned who my true friends were and who I could count on to stay in touch...
quality over quantity, I only have one and half friends and an almost friend , it’s plenty "
That’s what I learned... also being friends for a long time doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a good friend |

"I learnt how much of a social being I am the first time, as a key worker I won't be in a second lockdown and all my social energy is now focused into my photography "

Yes
We can count on each other.
Helping each other helps lift spirits.
Focus inwards as much as you can.
Take pleasure in little things. |

I never thought I’d find myself laying in an uncomfortable position to get just the right view.... well, actually... |

That my standards never slip no matter what situation I'm in. I continued to shave every other day keep myself physically fit and not turn to alcohol.
Basically I didn't turn into a Robinson Crusoe lookalike, apparently many poor males did. |

I learned that my concerns over being a misanthrope are unfounded. I'm constantly being barraged with the facts that humans are not supposed to be alone and doing so will cause mental harm.
It bloody doesn't for me!
Inadvertently, I got locked down with a family member. At one point I wasn't sure if I could actually carry on, there was no escape, just knowing another human was in my private space almost crushed me and I would walk late at night, crying in anguish, not wanting anyone to hear.
Nothing else changed for me except that, my life continued and continues as before, the only saving grace is that I move next week and I can't bloody wait! |

Independence is so easy compared to interdependence , but no fun |
