How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

I have to be honest ... this quarantine is not weighing heavily on me. Of course, I really miss everything that was normal and part of our everyday life, but all in all, also thanks to the situation at home, I don't feel this excessive weight here. Fortunately, living in an apartment on the ground floor with a garden, I have the opportunity to have fun and keep myself busy in different ways - sunbathing, barbecues, physical exercises - especially by taking advantage of the spaces. With a small daughter at home (four and a half years) in some ways, it is even easier and in addition, we say that we are sharing the quarantine with friends of the same building who also have a four-year-old girl. What I miss most of all is my shop and contact with all the people who revolve around it. The dream is obviously that everything will end quickly and in the best way, although unfortunately, this event will truly leave a memory in each of us. Who few who much but all of us will be marked. The fears, well, the biggest fears are for the habits that at least for a first moment, that we will not know how long it will last, will inevitably change and what was once normal and taken for granted will now be all a little revised. The other thought that could easily become a fear is that alas the economy of our country, which surely like many others does not pass and will not pass a good time...

 

What is your soundtrack?

I gotta be honest, I'm not super into music, in the sense that I listen to a little bit of everything, but I often hum the songs without knowing the author or title. Let's say that often, also because of the mood of the shop, I listen to trap music, rap, hip-hop and so on. I really like Lazza, who is also a friend. But as I said I listen to a little bit of everything, maybe I don't like metal and its facets.
