Without freedom: that’s the best way to describe this moment.

I’m not in favour of going with the opinion of others, or with the majority, I always use logic and common sense to everything that happens to me, but this time I made the mistake of letting myself be influenced by the media which, far from putting the population at ease, they enjoy making us suffer in a rather morbid way. Spain is, once again, at the back of the queue in regards to coherence and logic. We live in a state of emergency and this has made me be more selfish.

As I cannot leave the house, I don’t watch television (except for series), but it is inevitable to think of the families what won’t be able to deal with this, in my own family…, but I quickly return to my selfishness and I put that thought to a side. I think they have created this, yes, they’ve created it to wipe clean the planet of the people who are not useful for production and also, once they’re at it, generate a feeling of hate among us.

And in the middle of this situation, I start to value the people I have, or had, on my side before this happened, thinking that mankind is the worst species of this planet, greedy and jealous by nature. I realised that the few people that are by your side, by own accord, are the greatest treasure we could have.

I get many things clear from this situation, and I try to stay positive, I, one of the most realist people you could find… But I understand that if this doesn’t beat me, nothing will.

By the way, I had to spend the quarantine alone in my house. Some say they would go mad, but I brought out in myself the strength of a lion wishing to survive.
