To my best friend and myself
I made this letter for me on the things I have learned over these past months.
I am writing this letter to talk about what I learned during this quarantine, staying two months at home made me think about many things.
Before, I took many things for granted, such as a walking outside or going out with friends. This period instead made me understand that I should be grateful even for the smallest moments because everything could end in a moment.
I saw the world change in just two months and I miss the life I had before.
I have understood the importance of the hugs, I have appreciated more a simple sunset and I have understood that more time should be spent with the family.
It has been two difficult months and in my opinion we teenagers have suffered more than others .
I felt the lack of going to school, I didn’t think I would ever say this sentence. I miss sitting and learning from my desk. I miss going around the street without a mask and I miss going to the beach. In particular I miss my best friend Sahanya.
I miss laughing with her and I miss hugging her. I am so grateful to have such a person in my life. I don’t know how I would do without her. She has been my salvation.
She lightened up my days and life .She is similar to me and that is why we are inseparable. With her I can be the real Yasmine.
Thanks to her I understood the meaning of true friendship.
I can talk about everything with her and I know she would never judge me.
She is the person my children will call aunt and is the sister I have never had.
I understood that we must be grateful every day for our life, for being healthy and for having people around us who love us.
I understood that time passes quickly and there is no time to be sad.
I would like to see Bologna again full of people on the streets and not empty like the desert and I would like to run again under the arcades when it is going to rain.
I understood how important human contact is, a handshake, an evening with friends , a walk in the park or a dinner in a restaurant.
In this period I have seen people more united . I have seen nature blossom and I hope that when all this ends people will not return to be like they were before.
