QDN 2 - First Feelings

I’m pretty sure people thought that this break was holidays at home. Nobody was aware of so many days, we are going to be locked in our own cage. I admit it: I thought this isolation was going to be softer, but it is not. You can not sleep properly, you feel like you are living in the same day all the weeks long.

I felt bewilderment because of this quietness. I was supposed to be relax at home, but some news popped up every day and they put backwards what we knew as a society. Suddenly, this feelings transformed into desperation, rage because I didn’t know how to help a lot of affected people and sickness. I was so far from home and I thought about all these memories I kept in my mind. Memories from home and from Volda. I knew that there was so many things which I won’t be able to repeat and finally, I felt helpless because I saw myself far from home for so long.
