Hello lily, it is good to see you back! You have been missed.
This problematic situation has affected many over the course of last year I am afraid, both on a social and professional level.
I am sorry to hear about the virus you contracted, what is it? You don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable sharing.
Have you been imposed a lockdown in Canada? I got out twice in 2 or 3 months so believe me when I say that I know how damaging it is.
We are here to support you, I've been relating to this lately — I have barely met any of my friends or acquaintances and crave social interactions too. Things are even more valued when scarce.
