What i want post Covid-19: #1

I never thought i would live through such a pandemic in my lifetime. I ran multiple  pandemic simulations in the past 4 years and the results were always frightening: the world is not prepared. We are not prepared! So of course, i always hoped we were being prophets of doom and nothing so bad would ever happen. 

And now here we are... Europe is in lock down and we are all living the unimaginable "contagion". As hard/ destabilizing/ scary as these days have been, i don't want to focus on that... i want to keep me and my family going by repeating to myself "This is not permanent, it feels permanent but it is not! This too shall pass and we will be alright!"

With this in mind... i want to think about all the things i will do when these days are over...

- I want to go to Porto

- I want to hug my family

- I want to see my daughter play with our family 

- I want to go to the beach, explore rock pools and just enjoy the sun 

- I want to walk to Petulia, listen to a concert in Casa da Musica, and have grilled chicken for dinner

- I want to eat Francesinha and see my girl run up and down in Aliados 

- I want to go to Albufeira, smell the lavander and the pine trees, enjoy the outdoors heated pool and have dinner in the balcony of my hotel room
