For all of you who need to hear this

st-just:

“When people say, “we have made it through worse before” all I hear is the wind slapping against the gravestones of those who did not make it, those who did not survive to see the confetti fall from the sky, those who did not live to watch the parade roll down the street. I have grown accustomed to a lifetime of aphorisms meant to assuage my fears, pithy sayings meant to convey that everything ends up fine in the end. There is no solace in rearranging language to make a different word tell the same lie. Sometimes the moral arc of the universe does not bend in a direction that will comfort us. Sometimes it bends in ways we don’t expect & there are people who fall off in the process. Please, dear reader, do not say I am hopeless, I believe there is a better future to fight for, I simply accept the possibility that I may not live to see it. I have grown weary of telling myself lies that I might one day begin to believe. We are not all left standing after the war has ended. Some of us have become ghosts by the time the dust has settled.”

— Clint Smith

This is a delicate moment for many people in the world, especially in my country.

We are all in quarantine and can’t leave our homes. To brighten our days many people have started impromptu flash mobs, singing and playing music from the windows and balconies of their home. It has warmed my heart, we are proving that even in the face of difficult times we can come together as a nation.

Ce la faremo, tiriamo avanti e ricordiamoci che andrà tutto bene.
