19 January

 

Hello, 

I can see this blog has had so many more readers from Asia and South American recently, this is nice and intriguing, thanks for reading! 

Comment if you are from there (and of course from any part of Africa, the UK, Greece, Sicily, or wherever actually).

Today is my birthday and I just feel like the world is falling apart... Luckily, there is a ceasefire starting for Gaza, but will it hold and will it be enough? Scary times there.

...and in North America, on social media, and even in Europe, where the far right is gaining a country per semester... 

Everything I love is getting destroyed, from nature, forests, oceans to democracy, freedoms and safety. Most people don't want to fight for these, just want to run away, save their 'mental health' by not reading anymore, or hide.

Every people I love to bits is now in a different country from me, apart from my mother and my new best friend... 

And work... is hard work.

Tomorrow is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, and coincidently the day when Trump era part II begins.

At this stage, I don't need luck, I need a miracle...

But if you read these lines, I thank you and please come back for news from Africa and other parts of the global south. 

Stay strong, stay involved and love your people like there is no tomorrow...
