这段话好准确地概括了我搬回英国后的状态，可能大家也有类似的感觉：好像要把过去三年丢掉的快乐时光一下子全补回来一样。其实还蛮想进入下一个“take it for granted”般的理所应当的自然生活阶段，还是慢慢来吧，恢复创伤需要时间。

‘Our preferred people, places and pastimes were withheld. The effect, upon society’s reopening, has been a great rush to reconstruct past experiences - to revisit the same restaurants, retake the same holidays, recreate the same nights out. The energy with which so many people insist that pre-pandemic life has been totally restored has an almost maniacal intensity. It as if we are trying to compress years of life into just a few months. It is as if we are keen to generate a sufficient backlog of backdated memories before the next crisis strikes, like squirrels caching nuts for the winter.’
