pre-COVID dream effect

The effect where pre-COVID era felt like a mere dream (or a trailer for our current life), as we're now 4 years into post-COVID era (as of 2026)

Ever since the pandemic, my memories from before COVID-19 pandemic feel like a distant memory, almost like a dream; I guess I’m experiencing that pre-COVID dream effect.

Nicholson Effect

The feeling of unspecified love when a person is outside their everyday living environment (City/Town/Village). Usually confused with sexual urges. Often leads to people cheating while away from their families. On the other hand it can bring romantic partners closer to each other. Or it can just manifest as a deeper appreciation for a different city.

It wasn't the Nicholson effect that conditioned me to fall in love with that person while on vacation. It was the person themselves.

boyfriend effect

The boyfriend effect is when you get with a man who makes you feel safe and comforted and you’re not ashamed to be yourself around them and you don’t feel the constant need to dress up or put make up on. Many people see this as a flaw, but when a girl/woman feels comfortable to let a man see her with wet hair, no make up, and in comfortable clothes, that’s the best feeling. The feeling of secureness.

Friend#1:Girl I think the boyfriend effect is really hitting me i haven’t worn makeup in a week!
Friend#2: Ain nun wrong w it you look happy!
