24 March 2020. Me praying in my room at night. It's not easy to find peace and sleep today. My biggest fear is that my family members get sick.
31 March 2020. My journal, written in Catalan, my mother tongue. "Sometimes, I imagine how I break with all my mental structures that have been ruling me until now. By doing so, I find stillness and calm".
18 March 2020. A street near Las Ramblas, one of the most famous touristic sights of Barcelona, during the Coronavirus pandemic. On 14th March 2020, prime minister Pedro Sanchez declared the state of emergency and the partial lockdown of Spain due to the global pandemic COVID-19. Since then, all the shops in Spain are to close except for pharmacies and those selling food and other basic necessities. Citizens, confined in their homes, are only allowed to leave their homes for basic supplies, walk their dogs, or work, and can only do it alone. Maria Contreras Coll for The New York Times

12 April 2020. My set of masks, wipes, and hand sanitizer that I keep next to my door and that have become a new extension of myself.
26 March 2020. I sometimes wish that this period brings us a brand new path for humanity and that we start treating ourselves and Mother Nature better. Wanting to be completely non-attached of boundaries of the past, today I burned a letter that I’ve never sent to someone.
12 April 2020. Two important celebrations happened so far during our quarantine. My grandmother’s birthday, and Easter. My mother and I celebrated it, trying to keep a sense of normality in our home.
22 March 2020. The views from my living room in the evening. During the quarantine, spring has arrived, and every day the light hours are longer. It feels very strange to be indoors when nature is now awakening from the long winter.
24 March 2020. Me watching “Lost In Translation” in my room 1.29 at night, 10 days after the state of alarm was declared in Spain.
