An upside of the pandemic for me is that I've finally found a situation where being an introverted home body is an advantage. I've spent my life living in a world that is run by extroverts who define their way of being as the only acceptable way and, for the most part, don't even know that there is a different way.

I'm fortunate enough to not be in isolation by myself, but I suspect that even that would be relatively easy for me. While I was off work for several months, I played a ton of music, am learning a new instrument, and recorded a bunch of music I've written that has never fit into any bands I've played or recorded with.
