How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

I put the alarm clock so I don't wake up. My day begins with a paradox, it is true I put the alarm clock but not to wake up too early. After the first two days a little upset, I decided to act and do it in an organized way. The time variable was a reason for strong reflection. I understood for the first time that time must not scare us but accompany us, I decided to calculate many things, now I know exactly how long my coffee is ready, 1:53 by setting the power of my induction plate to 13, I started to take a shower ending it with 15 seconds of cold water, then 30, 45 and finally 60 seconds (WIM HOF METHOD), I'm getting ready to run the 4 | 4 | 48 as soon as I have the first 48 hours of freedom. I am doing many small things different from before, mental and physical activities that revolve around the same concept, managing space/time in a different way. When all this passes we will face the most difficult of moments, it will not be enough to be physically or mentally strong, whoever has the most money and who is most famous will not win, because everyone will be indiscriminately challenged, the proportions will change but in essence, nobody will he will emerge victorious if he does not learn to be able to make sacrifices. Values ​​will win and above all those who know how to bring together people united by them. We were forced to live sharing the same feeling, for the first time we felt the same with each other, bare and without barriers, skin colour, social class or political vision, all in the same condition, something more great never experienced before. The weak pay as nature has always said, and there have been far too many victims to cry for not considering this the most atrocious of moments, but it is the price to pay, the world demands a change.

I am working a lot, in a different way than before but intensely, and finally, we have started to exploit technology as a concrete and functional means of work, a habit that I hope will be part of our daily lives even after. I can also say that I am proud that a project has materialized in this period that I am looking forward to sharing with those who follow me and my work. This quarantine is "the rain at a Wimbledon final", not necessarily a negative thing, if you leave the locker room and return to the concentrated, more determined, more attentive field than before the game can have a different side, no matter if you were two set to zero, the game is not over, if you have reached the final then you can win the final if you play it.
