Marta, Italy

As an Italian abroad, the quarantine psychosis hit me a little earlier.
Talking to people back home and witnessing how they were struggling with not being able to step out of their houses was heart-breaking, compared to the freedom we have in Denmark. Every walk I take is a mixture of guilt and gratitude. Such a cognitive dissonance. Such a privilege, once again.

As the incurable optimist that I am, I think there's a lot to learn though.

This whole situation is a reminder of how small, yet relevant, human beings are in the bigger order of the system. I experienced first-hand how we can turn around someone else's day just with a kind word. How gloomy days can change into a day of (self-)discovery if we accept the new rhythm and rules of this unprecedented period. How comfy it is to never wear jeans (leggins team for life).

The thing I'm missing the most is hugging people, in those heart-felt and soul-warming hugs. But we'll hug again. And it's going to be amazing.
