Depends on the person --- when the pandemic hit I was a grad student, we didn't have kids, and our living situation was nice (tiny studio but it had a wonderful, if small, outdoor space). Scary times for sure, but life --- at least the day to day --- was...pretty good!
It's strange how easy it is to evaluate life based solely on the moment you're in. Later on that day something really good may have happened to her and and her outlook would do a 180 flip for a while. Maybe she has something really good for lunch or achieves something she's been working towards and feels amazing
