This city sure has tested my faith since I tweeted this 4 months ago...

I still feel this way, but boy do I feel tested!! I pine for my favorite SF amenity: endless earnest conversation sitting on a stranger's living room floor.

Same. I was in VA recently, feeling disappointment/shame for letting the thoughts in my head grow stale/uninteresting.
Next day, got drinks w a few endlessly interesting Twitter friends. I felt like me again the next day, devouring a few new books I wouldn't have read otherwise.

Being starved of serendipity is one of the hardest parts of quarantine IMO. Easy to not realize that's the cause then blame yourself.
I realize now I would get those sorts of intellectually rich and novel interactions many times a week before, without much effort. Miss it a lot.

+1. The pandemic/quarantine makes me feel like I'm living in the Midwest again, in precisely this sense: No serendipity, everything is *hard*, interesting conversations only happen online.

This is such a good way to put it! I grew up in the midwest, feeling very isolated, and good conversation happened online. My current experience is strikingly like that! Except with better food and (until recently) weather.
