The QuaranTEENS

This quarantine has changed my daily life. Indeed, we had to change our routine to make our days productive.  

The morning, I wake up between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. I take my breakfast: fruits and cookies or milk with cereals. After, I start to do my homework.  

Then, I prepare my lunch, something healthy to stay fit. I clean the kitchen and I go back to work until 5 p.m.  

After that, during one hour, I work out to change my mind and to forget during one time this coronavirus. It makes me feel better and more appeased. I take a shower, I put my pajama and I eat some almonds. After, I stay with my parents, we discuss about the news or something else. Sometimes we do a yoga session.  

We go to prepare the dinner, we eat and after the coolest moment arrives: I watch a movie, or a series. I love that!  

That is my routine! See you next week!  

Since the beginning we have observed several cases and steps. 
In fact, at the beginning people were rather indifferent and didn’t care too much then they understood and the confinement has proved its worth however these days since the announcement of the de-confinement on May 11th, people are changing their behavior. 

As I say, since that date people have become more relaxed and it is not uncommon to see crowded markets or people on family walks in crowded places and also clandestine “parties”.

I’m quite disappointed because we’ve held up so far…

However, I too am looking forward to a “normal” life, but I think the world will be a very different place.
I’m thinking in particular of public transport or clothing stores that will have to find ways to provide health security.
In addition, our daily habits will change drastically… no more hugs, and no more handshakes to say hello.

Anyway, my post today is quite short because I broke my phone and all my notes of the week are in it, I’ll get it back soon so it should be ok.
Bye

It isn’t always a piece of cake to find a suitable subject to develop when you have to write a post on QuaranTEENS… I didn’t even know what I was going to say a few seconds ago.
But I’m here to help you with this even though I am not the best at writing.
There are many things you can talk about during quarantine, but there are pretty original ones and the ones you choose by default. For instance, telling us how your week was is good, but it feels like it could use a little originality.

I might have a few examples of original subjects: you could talk about a brand new hobby, create yourself a hobby to talk about, and even try to guide everyone to find new hobbies. You could also do DIY articles in order to share your technique and knowledge. You could also talk about the situation of the world and/or of the country and about what you think is going to happen next. For that, many different versions of it exist.

For what’s less original, without wanting to disappoint anybody, telling how your day, your week or how life is during confinement, except if your contracted the COVID-19 or any other virus, is pretty frequently seen. It’s a shame that it isn’t Saturday night yet, I could’ve had the Saturday night fever, and luckily it would go away haha.

I hope y’all feelin’ ok 🤭😆, have a good evening!

During the past few days, I’ve mostly been watching movies that my friend proposed to me. I’ve watched big classic such as Scarface, Le parrain, Forrest Gump, The Green Mile, 12 Angry Men, Pulp Fiction, The Ghost Writer, Usual Suspects and many others. That occupies me a lot, and makes time pass quickly but I’ve not been working since I’ve been watching movies.

The movies I really loved were the Devil’s advocate, Rosemary’s baby and Jackie Brown I found those 3 really interesting, they actors really played their roles very well, and the scenarios were great.

SIXTH WEEK

Once confinement is complete, life will change completely.  Our relationships will be different because we will have to respect a distancing.  It’s not going to be easy at first but we’ll get used to it. Human interaction will therefore have a great impact.  We can no longer take hands, cuddle, kiss.  I think a lot of people will be anxious about getting the virus and therefore there will be distrust.

I hope that researchers, doctors … will find a vaccine against the virus as soon as possible.  It would be a relief for the whole world.  We could then find our habits and our hobbies. 

I watch a lot of series when I’m not working and it helps me pass the time.  I listen to music all the time, and especially when I go running.

Finally, my little brother is a source of daily happiness.  

See you

Since the beginning of the lockdown, I have been watching the news to see how this situation is evolving. In most countries, people stay at home and do not move or rarely move and I was really interested in the benefits made by this global containment.

First of all, let us look at Italy, which was the first European country seriously affected by the Coronavirus. As shown in this picture, marine animals regain their rightful place in the waters of the Mediterranean. In Sardinia, where 30 million goods usually pass through every year, dolphins are once again approaching the now desert shores because of the drop in cargo traffic.

Venice, the well-known city for its canals has also found “its beauty” back thanks to the comeback of the fishes, swans . . . with clearer waters.

In the French capital, the evolutions are also present with different animals taking their place. Spotted in the streets of Paris, the ducks also take back their rights. With sidewalks deserted by locals and millions of tourists a year, the birds take the time to stretch their legs.

In the South of France new animals also make their appearance with rorqual.

At the Hong Kong zoo, which has been closed to the public for the past two months, the two pandas, Ying Ying and Le Le, have mated and it is a first for these two animals who have been living together for ten years.

In many other countries, nature takes over these rights with: in Australia kangaroos walking the streets ; in Nepal, the rhinos that are in the city like in South Africa with the penguins that are on the sidewalks and so on.

In the pollution heat, the effect of containment is truly present with a level of fine particles that fell by 40% to 10% in April. It would have prevented 1,230 deaths in France (according to a European Research Center).

As a conclusion, we can say that nature is gradually taking back its rights with the global lockdown. It also reminds us that nature needs room and clean air to live and that we cannot damage earth permanently.

We’ve been in confinement for a long, long time now. The confinement hasn’t brought me much because apart from watching TV shows, doing sports and cooking, I don’t do anything at all except homework. But confinement made me realize how valuable my best friends were to me…I missed going out with them, eating with them, going to the movies with them and doing many activities together. I think the thing that I missed the most and that saddens me the most is not being able to eat out because I love fast food.I think I’m really getting depressed because I don’t go out of my room having in mind that it wouldn’t do any good to walk around inside the house it doesn’t make me want to leave my room i.e. my bedroom. I could notice the importance of going outside because I really miss even the forest, walking around… What can be seen as an advantage is the fact that I cook a lot I knew I could cook but not as much I find that I make good recipes almost every day even if I don’t do it out of envy but out of boredom it doesn’t matter at least it passes the time. But knowing that on May 11th I could finally get out of my house by respecting the limit, i.e. at most 100 km from my house, reassures me a little even if we have to wear this mask yes because I hate it I feel like it’s suffocating us and we can’t even breathe properly. Anyway, I just hope I have nightmares and wake up as soon as possible.

Writing is all I’m doing right now, talking to some people too. But the rest of the time my mind is so overwhelmed that writing is the only way to calm it down. To be able to have the clear ideas, and to follow my underived thinking completely off my limits, to actually stay alive.

Here’s one of them.

He was smiling, that handsome man. He was young, and certainly had dreams full of his head. But he wasn’t smiling because he was happy. No, he wasn’t, he had misplaced his dreams in his shopping for pain. The pain had caught up with him by his dreams. He was not even strong enough to flee his nightmares. He was a broken man. But I would have loved to look like him so much. He was strong, gifted, tall. No physics but soul. Yes, he had a great soul that fascinated me. His frail hands could have killed anyone.

He was a good, fair, loyal being. But no one wanted to taste his righteousness and he had no one to be loyal to. He only had me and he didn’t even know. I remained his shadow, I was like the smile around his lips almost invisible, but present. He made me taste love, a new love, slow, sweet, sweet. But he didn’t know. He made me taste the hatred that had recently invaded me, the hatred that led me to want the death of his oppressors.

He wandered the streets like me in my thoughts. He was always there, everywhere I saw him. But he never spoke. No, he never opened his mouth. Finally, he avoided this drama.

He had blond hair, a beautiful ashen blond, and strands that always fall in front of his eyes. Even today, I don’t know the color of it. Maybe green like emerald? Jade? Blue like sea-aigue? Cobalt? Maybe even red like blood? I don’t know. I only know that I would have killed a thousand times to glimpse even a piece of his eyes, and a thousand times again to see a glimmer of hope shining there. But his eyes were more hidden than justice in this world.

He stole the smile from the stars and hung it around his lips. I imagined his beautiful white and regular teeth under his fine lips, but the truth is that I knew only of my bitter ignorance. I prayed for Love in the rain, to see him laugh one day, but this moment never came. So I kept watching it, every day, every moment of my life. I was watching over him, I hope to one day drive out his demons, who were haunting his thoughts like mine, I wanted to kill those kids who put him down as they had done with me. We were the same.

And that day, I followed him to the end of the world, because I was no longer alone. I saw Him looking at the city from the top of the cliff. The sun started to get tired of us and it was shedding in the daylight. I sat behind that tree, and looked at it with my eyes whose color I don’t know. I was staring at him, standing still, saying that this would stop the time. That was not the case. But I saw him turning his head in my direction, slowly, very slowly, and incredibly gentle. Her lips stirred. They had fangs as canines, and his teeth were white. Yes, his teeth were as sharp as blades, they could have shredded the necks of all the bullies of this world, they could have bleached all the idiots. They could’ve done so much. He was so beautiful. And he talked to me.

“Thank you”

And for a moment I suffocated. Not understanding. Her hair was getting lost in the wind. His body was floating in the air. Just before gravity catches up with him.

He jumped. And he was looking at me again.

He looked at me as his body, having failed to defy gravity as no one had, crashed to the ground. He was still staring at me, as I guessed the inside of his body imploding in shock. Her eyes remained open, her body laid like a doll of rag swung on the floor by a child tired of her hobby. He had jumped, looking at me, and had not even left me a drop of blood.

He had gray eyes.

Hey! On Tuesday April 28, Prime Minister Edouard Philipe finally announced the terms for the end of the confinement which is supposed to take place on May 11. I am both happy and worried about the end of this period because even if the numbers of the dead and those who enter the hospital improve, I am afraid that a second wave will be all the stronger and still kills a lot of people. At least I could have gotten something positive out of confinement (if it ends as planned on May 11) by successfully getting into sport every day. I also have a lot of fun with my dog ​​who too must be bored to death..

But the situation is becoming more and more tiresome and I would very much like to return to the rhythm of life that we all had before. With that, pay attention to yourself and see you next week !!!

Hi, everyone, I hope everyone is fine, as we saw on TV, the end of the confinement is scheduled for May 11, very happy with this news. I plan a lot of things but the most important thing is to make up for lost time and find my barber. While waiting for this day to arrive I continue to do what I did for 1 month, that is to say: eat, sleep, netflix, sport and of course do homework… nothing very interesting. I watched an interesting movie today that I recommend to you called Green Book. That’s all for me hoping that we’ll see each other in June.
Take care of yourself.
