Six Months into the Pandemic, A List of Things I Miss

• Watching movies in a theater
• Being confused in a foreign country
• Learning phrases that I'll inevitably forget for international trips
• Getting on a plane without an immense sense of dread
• Traveling to a place near the sea
• Visiting my friends in other cities
• New experiences, new people
• Weddings where you can dance and hug your friends
• Going to restaurants
• Attending the symphony
• Planning for trips
• Planning for anything
• Having my grandmother visit
