About quarantine

  • Lana Neble
Last year at The-Dots I saw the opportunity to participate in Moonhood magazine to collaborate writing about quarantine and how it was affecting our lives. I am Spanish, so my English is not native and I felt a bit insecure about writing but also full of enthusiasm. Now I share them with you. You can read it here, but I also leave you an excerpt. The illustration was also made by me.

Sometimes my words burst like a stream from a fountain that has been heated by the summer Sun. Everything flows. I wet my hands with that same water and I feel the thirst that often stings my throat quenched. Sometimes, my inner self has so much to say that it is as if that little stream is transformed into an vast ocean. So I swin in it. And I write about how my mother is getting smaller and smaller, about my grandmother's words, about the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that guides my daily actions, about the confinement and about the birds that chirp, and look, and whisper how much space they will have. Everything feels like waves breaking against my body, shaking me and moving my limbs. I dive into the water and let the liquid enter my nose, my mouth and my ears. I let everything flood me and drown the fire that anxiety unleashes in my ribs just for a moment.

I would love to collaborate again writing texts.

Thanks for reading me :)
