Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.

I think I touched upon this issue in my previous entry already. But I would like to mention my recent break-up. Me and my ex-boyfriend broke up partly due to the pandemic. We were both living in Vancouver, Canada before the pandemic. Then I moved back to Istanbul. He stayed but it was going to be only for a couple of months. We were both planning to move to Europe to start our new jobs in neighbouring countries, so we were hoping that we could travel to see each other. But then, it turned out to be a 1-year long distance before we could both move to Europe and start our jobs. And even then, travelling was too hard. We didn't want to continue the long-distance and broke up. It was sad for me. I was very attached to him. Yet, I have coped with this break-up better than some of my past experiences.
