Talk of ‘social bubbles’ is giving me flashbacks to school when I was the sixth person in a group of girl mates.
and depression in the past, I worried that big changes to my lifestyle would trigger them back into place.What actually happened is that I felt peaceful for the first time in years. No pressure to be anywhere or see anyone or doing anything much at all. I faced my fear of being alone and you know what, reader? It wasn’t so bad after all.
The next stage of the challenge for me is maintaining that sense of peace and control when the model shifts. As rules relax some will flout them more than others and some will have to remain strong against peer pressure. There has been much criticism of the government’s insufficient clarity in their social distancing guidelines this week. As much as I join in with my frustration over their lack of leadership during this crisis, I sympathise with the fact that there can’t possibly be simplicity in something so nuanced and complicated as lifting lockdown measures.Boris has reiterated many times this week his confidence in the ‘common sense’ of the British people.
Lockdown united us, in a way. Although I don’t consider it to have been a great leveller, it did provide us with a commonality.
