If you don't know what RAGU is, don't worry. I didn't know either.

Day 23: Self isolation
Today was a good day.
Later into the evening, I had a fight with my family on the phone. Gosh I hate these fights.
My sister is still going to work. And I am paralysed with worry.
I called them & said I am sorry that I shouted.
I think maybe these days at home can be a good time for me to dig deeper in these family issues.
Gosh everything is heavy on my chest.
Last night I slept in his arms under the moonlight.
P.S. I miss Maya so much.
Breathe,
Elina

Day 22: Self isolation
I woke up today with a very very deep sorrow for everything. People dying. The rest living in fear. I read today on my friend's fb page that she's having nightmares of losing her family. She is a doctor herself in US.
My sister is forced to go to work back in Iran. I'm so worried for my family..
I know the rest of the worrying and anxiety compare to what's happening in the world is nothing, I know. But I can feel however I want to, no?
As this place is where I can share everything.. I revise how I started this post:
I woke up today with a very very deep sorrow for my trip to Costa Rica that got cancelled. Gosh I am so pissed. I was planning this trip back and forth for a couple of years now. And I was so close to go!
I just hope something good comes out of this mess. People living mindfully. People caring about the environment more. People being kinder to each other. Governments understand unity more.
Stay safe,
Elina

Day 18: Self isolation
Happy April.
Today I was about to go to Perugia work Journalism Festival. For five days. G wanted to come for couple of days there. We had rented a car. We wanted to stay in a castle... Well, CoronaVirus changed the whole plan!
I had totally forgot about Perugia in the past couple of day.
Tonight after we watched "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", i went to the room to sleep and saw that he has turned on the projector. And there was a video clip about Perugia.
I was full of tears. I was speechless.
I think I reviewed the speech Pelagia's father made about love in my head while I was tearing up:

Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like
volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a
decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined
together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a
decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined
together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion.That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and, when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one
tree and not two.

I felt love that night. Loud and clear. It was not new. I have it in me for quite sometime. For the past couple of months. And it's here to stay. It's here to warm my body and to give me hope for a very long time. I can feel it.

Day 17: Self isolation
Today I was invited to an ONLINE surprise party. I find it hilarious!! Fair enough, seeing your friend's while you are in quarantine is the best thing, but I don't understand the surprise part of it. haha.
Today I was still very sad. I'm very sensitive these days. Fucking PMS. Ruins your life. You need to be aware of it all the time.
Mark these days as complete second year that I have not seen my family.
Be strong Eli jaan, more to come! :(
