Times are strange. But if you need someone to talk to, you don’t have to be a stranger. Back in May 2020, I asked our HVNY Instagram fam how they were, in what I thought was a brush-off Instagram Story during my recap of the daily coronavirus briefing from then-Governor Cuomo. I didn’t expect anyone to answer, but a lot of you answered honestly. And many of you feel scared, anxious, you’re drinking a lot more, uncertain about finances, uncertain about other people, very ‘meh’ and secretly relieved to have a little free time. It’s okay whatever you are feeling, and even if it changes day-to-day.
