For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Assumptions That Extroverts Have On Introverts
To you, you’d think that this whole quarantine situation is a walk in the park for us. We’ve always been quarantining! But that’s not the case. We miss the fresh air just as much as you do. Doing things we thoroughly enjoy outside is rewarding to us and very therapeutic but we also like to take the time to do indoors as much as outdoors and that's where you and I differ. I can stay inside and have just as much fun as I would outside or you, it’s reverse and that’s okay.

The Alien Observes
My mum once started to write a book about her life, and in it she introduced her three children in different ways. My brother, first born. Conceived within the false promise of the baby boomer’s last attempts to believe in the nuclear family. Naturally attracting all the glory in the world, he’s always the life of the party, the gentle giant with the gift of enthusiasm, he can talk to anyone and is incredibly friendly. He wears his heart on his sleeve so his sensitive nature is bared for all to see and while his body is strong and his will is brave, his heart is precious. My little sister, the miracle child. Born out of hopeless love into violent delights. She is the light in the darkness, the warm ray of hope that gleams through the morning window, through the looming grey clouds. Smart and thoughtful, she is the reminder that there is hope in times of hopelessness. A beautiful embodiment of potential.

A f*&ked Easter
The following is my own non-edited, non-proof-read stream of consciousness about Easter... I carrot believe it’s Easter, just like my brain still carrot fathom that there is a currently a law saying that I (and the rest of my family) cannot drive over to my grandparents’ house in Bribie Island for our traditional European Easter Sunday lunch. I can’t help my grandparents to hide all of the Easter eggs in their backyard for my little brother to find and I can only seem my little brother through facetime. This time last year, my little brother, former partner and myself were climbing on a playground, seeing if we could all fit down the slide at once and taking a bunch of cheesy selfies with the messenger filters on my phone. Afterwards, my former boyfriend and I when to one of his friends’ parties, in which we wore identical bad Christmas shirts and posed for photos under a flower wreath. The last time I went to a party or a mass gathering was over two months ago.

The Disease Everyone Loves To Hate
He was feverish. The streets were empty. The whole world, an empty pillbox. The man took precedence. He was sick before the lot of you. This is how this story begins. You might think I´m employing an angry tone or just being informative, but he was a friend of mine. He killed himself for an abundance of reasons. As one does. Until they all became numb. As if suffering from hunger. Starvation.

Love more: nature, summer hits, each other. Top Story - April 2020.
Last weekend I participated in my first ever Zoom hosted birthday party. We all dialled in from our respective locations around Europe and had a few drinks together as if we were down the local. Everyone attempted to outdo each other with party paraphernalia including wigs, hats, sunglasses, and flashy jackets- baubles from festivals and house parties of bygone days.

7 Thoughts!!
👋🏾 There, I am sure we have room to argue that this March-May is the most popular, most active, most social part of a calendar year. At least here in most of America, These three months mark the beginning of warmer temperatures, which releases us from our hibernating state. COVID🦠19 however has decided to not just keep us in hibernation, but have forced us to make a life out of it. It is on mainly levels painful, with the remaining levels locked at extremely uncomfortable.
