Who has never heard that lightning does not strike twice in the same place? The phenomenon repeated itself and reached everything and everyone with maximum intensity. The beginning of the new year was marked by a return to an unwanted past. We are, once again, locked down in our homes, physically separated from those we love most, in an inevitable distance to control a virus that has taken over our lives, as well as the will of the world for over a year.

Between the dismay of some and the anguish of others, we risk our lives when realizing how much we still have to build, because, as they say, "Life goes on". And it continues to demand from everyone creativity, resilience and emotional stability to reinvent ourselves every moment, even from home.
