Fully Vaccinated

Today marks two weeks since my second Pfizer shot, which means I’m supposed to be fully protected. However, I don’t feel like celebrating. Instead I feel an intense sadness.

I’m not very social, so I actually liked the isolation of the last year. I was relieved that I didn’t have to deal with people and I feel uncomfortable returning to society. I still have no desire to eat in a restaurant or go to a bar and I still don’t feel comfortable taking my mask off and I feel uncomfortable around people who aren’t wearing masks.

The only things I look forward to are seeing a few close friends in person, getting my first haircut in more than a year, and taking Muni to see other parts of the city again. Other than that I will keep living my life the same way I did for the past year,.
