Perspectives

Passavo da una notizia all'altra, da un'app all'altra, in un circolo vizioso e inarrestabile.

I shifted from one news to another, from one app to another in an unstoppable vicious circle.

Coming to grips with the loss of control is difficult for me, but I was making progress. Then, COVID-19 hit.

When I got back to my car, I had a voicemail from my mom: “Call me back when you get this. Your dad is in the hospital.”

Quería gritar: “¡SI, ACEPTO!” Pero traté de mantener la calma.

“The Wall” — local people like to address it this way. To locals, the mere length or the grandeur of it does not ring any bells.

I wanted to yell and say: “YES I ACCEPT!” But I tried to be cool.

I was petrified of volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, high winds, lightning, and even--when I was very young--the sound of the ocean.

My field site was adorned with loads and loads of herps and nobody can tell me otherwise.

...a bigger part of me wanted to defend measuring out exactly six cups of water to really go the extra mile on my Kraft macaroni and cheese.
