lockdown diaries

And life continues. Just a bit differently.
More phone calls. More compassion.
Focus on the important things.
But
Who will take care of all the office plants?
Wednesday, March 18th 2020
Professional & private life seem to blend
Even more so than usual.

Breaking quarantine to be with someone I met 5 minutes ago.
Not the wisest choice.
Health-wise & heart-wise.
Friday, March 20th 2020
I haven’t had that much fun playing UNO in – ever, actually.
Saturday, March 21st, 2020
Reading in bed without the pressure to do more with the weekend.
What does “more” even mean?
Less is more.
Starting to understand the meaning behind this.
Sunday, March 22nd, 2020
Creativity is slowly flowing
Through the cracks of my professional mask.
I am starting
To feel myself again.
Monday, March 23rd, 2020
Stress & unnecessary distractions
Are making way
For honest conversations
And deep connections.

Dreaming of physical intimacy
While quarantine has helped me
To live emotional intimacy
On a whole new level
Wednesday, March 25th, 2020
How can we deal with the emotional distancing
That comes with these times?
With the lack of sense
For how our coworkers are feeling?
Thursday, March 26th, 2020
Motivation is hard to find these days.
Friday, March 27th, 2020
No big life revelations, yet.
This is still the time
To get to know ourselves better.
To try out new things
To do stuff we were meaning to
For a long time.

Life at home gets normal.
Not being able to hug people
Never will.
Tuesday, March 31st, 2020
I wonder what it will be like
When we get to go back
To normal life again.
Will we ever?
What will normal
Be to us then?
Wednesday, April 1st, 2020
I have never before
Understood the massive impact of
Random, small touches and hugs
On our overall well-being.
Thursday, April, 2nd, 2020
Being vulnerable,
Taking action,
Going courageous into this world.
This is what I strive for.
Saturday, April 4th, 2020
Suddenly, there is time.
Time to feel myself
And to understand.
Time to listen
To the world around us.
Sunday, April 5th, 2020
Sunday.
The day to postpone big life questions
Like where do I want to go
And what is it I want to do
For pancakes, coffee, sun
And good friends.
Monday, April 6th, 2020
The new normal
Looking at the outside world
From our windowsill
While inside
We’re living a world of our own.
Thursday, April 9th, 2020
The sound of birds chirping
Will always and forever
Put things into perspective.
“Spring is here”, it says,
“And so are better days”
