Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Aliki Koutsomitopoulou]

I close my eyes in my self-isolation from corona… and I see my mother in our home in a far far away city of the South. I smell her perfume and I want to hug her. Out of the window, the mountain is green and it goes down into the sea. I would go out and have a cold coffee on the central square, feeling the sun on my face.

My whole life I have been fighting. I will fight once again. Soon I will be back, there, in the South.

“We the Isolationists” series urges folks from any part of the world to share a brief diary starting with “I close my eyes in my self-isolation from Corona… and I see…” Not more than 100 words. With a horizontal-sized selfie, along with your city name… please mail to me at mayankaustensoofi@gmail.com.
