So now, we are in this situation, and I’m even lucky because my dear ones and I are fine, but there are a lot of people that are suffering a lot due to the mistake of these not very intelligent (stupid) people. 

We would all have to say “Thank you” to the doctors that are working day and night to overcome this pandemic, usually we are not thankful, but they are the real heroes at the moment.

One day, I hope soon as possible, we will be able to go back to normal life, for example even go to the park, take a Spritz with our friends, go for a walk in the city centre, all things that seemed to be banal, but now are banned.

What I miss the most is meeting my friends out of school, before the lessons, we were able to speak about what we wanted before our boring five hours of lesson(not all-English lessons are not boring). I used to joke with them; Every morning I used to say:”I want to go home”, just to laugh a bit. Now I should be happy, because I’m always at home, but now I’ve understood that I’m missing going to school too.

I’m talking to you from the past, and if you’re going to read this letter, it means everything went well. The motto these days’s "Everything will be fine “and we hope it will be so.

I’m a girl who at the time of covid-19 was just 18 years old. You know that they look forward to 18 years; 18 years is like the final half and instead it’s a number, you simply have more responsibilities. I was ready to get my driver’s license, to feel "great" when a virus arrived, which at the beginning of this year seemed far away. It was thought: Ah in Italy will never come. But here we are, in quarantine. You find yourself locked in the house, forced to be with your parents, not to see your friends for a long time. There’s no more laughs, no more hugs, no more kisses.

We’re forced into a real virtual world, where two hands cannot clench and two lips cannot touch. We’re forced every day to come up with something to do, to spend our time as best we can. But we’re also forced to think about ourselves, to reflect on the value of small things. It’s said that when you lose something you understand the true value and I can only agree. I’ve lived on my skin what it means. I have used this time in the best possible way, established friendships that I didn’t believe and I’ve understood that certain people must or should not be part of my life. I realized the importance of having a coffee in between laughs with friends or even the importance of a nice dress to wear with your boyfriend. The songs sung in the car at the top of their heads or the walks in the open air. When getting up in the morning to take the bus seemed a heroic gesture because the heat of the blankets would never want to leave it, but when you are forced to spend all the time? When in the morning seeing and hearing the voice of your companions is the most joyful moment of the day, even those who are not really nice, you understand the value of things. And I apologize for my mistakes, because I have often taken many things for granted, I apologize because there’s nothing taken for granted! The people who lost their families, the doctors who died. We have to thank and we guys, the least affected by this ugly evil we must reflect. We’ll be better people once this is over and we have to teach future generations that nothing is ever taken for granted. We used to focus on climate change, on reducing pollution, but were we really that important?

No, because we didn’t have to deal with this personally. But now we understand, and one day we’re going to talk to you about these moments, and one day we’re going to tell our grandchildren about this, and we can say that we did it, but we’re really going to do it when we change as people, becoming better people who bring respect for ourselves and for others.

I wish you good luck! And if it isn’t a moment, remember: EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

I just wanted you to know that, I know It's the first time for everybody and that we don't trust what the government does, because everyone has his own opinion, and thinks we should follow that, but we MUST follow the rules the government give us in order to put them in conditions to give us our liberty back. I never thought we could have limits to freedom in 2020 and I understand that is a sad thing but It's up to us. So, as I said before, I think that this fight has a big common aim, so everyone should have the right motivation for doing something.

Don't be scared everything will be alright                                                   

from now on we will fight together and we will win 

nothing will hurt you if we stay tuned. 

Believe me, we’ll get through everything like always

but don’t be scared cause we are used to fighting for a thousand years and we will fight for a thousand more.  

I would like to remind you of a better world and one day to discover the truth, to be aware of what is happening and to assert this humanity. 

We have had to give up a simple caress, a kiss and a hug for a long time and I hope that this can never happen to you, for this make you plead.

It’s a difficult period. You are going crazy, you would like to tear your hair out. You can't handle it anymore, you're tired, you want to go out, you don't want to study anymore. You are afraid that a relative may get sick. I know it is difficult.

But you have to resist. The beautiful days will come back, you will go back to school, to the gym or to the park. We will all come back to smile. Don't get down!

Look on the positive part of the situation. You have learned to know yourself better. You have learned that even small things are important. You have found the time that everyday life usually steals from you to do what you like best, like reading, drawing, watching a movie.

This is a bad time for everyone, but we will get out of it soon and all this will end.

So, to all the other people, stay at home for your doctors because they are doing their best to kill this terrible virus.

THANK YOU DOCTORS.
