Negative:
Realising that a disturbingly high proportion of the population will just lie down and give up their freedoms without question - and not only lie down but try to cut the legs away from anyone still stood up going "Hey wait a minute..."
Realising that BoJo the Clown was actually in charge. Of an entire country. At a time when history needed a bastard leader and not a man desperate to be liked.
Positives:
My business has boomed during lockdown and I've made more money in the last 12 months than in the previous 24. That first immediate rush of business was an insane blast.
Confronting my addictions and getting sober. The support I've received, all via telephone, has I think been better for me than previous face to face encounters where I tended to normalise my own situation by comparing myself to other addicts in a worse state. I realised this when I had to go to the service centre to collect a prescription and ended up waiting outside with a woman who offered me a swig of her can of Tennants Super and tried to bum a tenner off me.
Going for a walk in the park with my son in May, it was almost deserted and we saw so much wildlife, including a massive heron who was just strutting along the path like a bad-ass motherfucker.
When the gyms reopened in July, getting there at 6am for a workout and feeling like life had re-started. Sitting down on the weights bench as Dr Dre came through my headphones and the sun was shining through the windows and I just burst into tears of relief and joy.
