It was March 2020.

It was March 2020.

People started reading, playing with family, learning a language. They sang on the balcony inviting the neighbors to do the same. They learned a new language, to show solidarity and focused on other values.

Then on the day of liberation came, people found out on TV. The virus had lost, people took to the streets, they sang, cried, kissed their neighbors, without masks or gloves.

Everything’s going to be fine, stay home, protect yourself, and you’ll enjoy life.
Read this, share it and stay in love.
