Taking control of your life
In the beginning of this year, the Covid-19 came to show us that we do not have any control of our lives. It has shown to us that everything can chance overnight. In one day, we were living our ordinary life, working and gathering with our friends and family. In another, we were just forbidden to leave our homes and have social contact, many people lost their jobs, lots of plans were postponed and even canceled. We have become insecure about the future, without knowing what is going to happen and when we would be able to meet up again. During this period, many people have struggled with anxiety, depression,…

“Positivism during corona virus – opportunities within the challenge”
Corona virus or COVID-19… it is not a new topic. There is so much information about it, so much is written; our attention is still so focused on it – either by following the development of the situation in the news, or the jokes in the social media. Although it is a difficult and challenging time for everyone, I do not think it is so fatal. I don’t even think it will be the last of its kind.

Coronavirus: an opportunity to change our lives

Many people cannot face their own diseases. As a Journalist and now a student living abroad, I am facing myself this isolation in my bedroom. I am Brazilian and I came to Ireland in order to improve my English. I want to do a Master’s in Cinema and start a new career as a filmmaker. For this reason, last year, I decided to change my life. It is a long story for another article. I arrived in…

Coronavirus: What is in the air?
Regardless what is going on ‘almost’ everywhere in the world, we are all striving to keep on going. Every day, I woke up, brush my teeth, put on clothes, some days make-up, some days, even before combing my hair I move to my office, just beside by bed, to start my online classes. I have lost track of how many cups of coffees and tea I have been taking per day, and how crazy I must look like when singing “All by myself, don`t want to be. All by myself, anymore”. Notice it has been only 3 weeks so far. All this conversation going on made me have a dream…
