Another week into the crisis of the Coronavirus. Staying home with the family. Going to the groceries by myself using one shopping car, distancing myself 1,5 metre from the other one. Homeschooling my daughters every day of the week. Finishing work at the weekend if necessary.

It is a whole operation at the moment, but I am managing it this far.

In the meantime, writing continues no matter what happens in the world. Not only writing continues but working as well. We all have to adjust to this situation. You can make something out of this situation or you can mourn about the situation. We have to do it all together. In The Netherlands, there are happening a lot of things. So, I’ll keep you updated about the Coronavirus in The Netherlands.

At this same weird time, I feel the weird things everyone is going through. Everyone is adjusting to the situation and you can feel it, you can feel how they try to and also how they really want to help out and also how they want to give others a hug, to say that we will get through this, all together.

We have to deal with this situation, but I know for sure, we can do this together. And it is fine, to find new ways in situations we haven’t been through in. Sometimes I just get migraines from these situations, but then I will find new ways and the migraines are gone.

Every time I write, or when I do other things in life, there is a chance that I will be distracted a lot. Especially in this Corotime. I have to homeschool my daughters and when they have to ask something they don’t understand, then I have to help them. In this case, I am very distracted.

It is nice to be in your thirties. I like it because you say goodbye to the wild you and become more serious about topics you thought about but never took action into it. What is your favourite age?

Do you have this life experience? Promising a lot when you actually can’t make the promise? Sometimes I did, just to please others and not please myself. I thought that others will be angry with me when I didn’t do it.

After all, things you have been through, the coronavirus crisis, we have to laugh more about ourselves definitely, and about the situation, you later will think it is stupid you ever did.
