It was what you made of it. Approximately what percentage of your life do those 2 years account for? How did you optimize the situation? Why did so many people enjoy the lockdowns but not you? The "culture" that was stifled by the lockdowns was a distraction anyway. Every contractor was booked solid the whole time. Did you capitalize on that? Everyone learned to have online meetings. They got to work from home. They got to start projects they never had time for before. A lot of people didnt want to go back. And realistically every door that closed opened a window. I still went on vacation. Life went on. At least you learned how stupid those people are. And it gives you the opportunity to find the intelligent ones and have a common hatred for the sheep. Make something of that.
