With Anna

A stream of conscious, guided imagination, dreamy flow.

AV a strain of thoughts regarding different layers of stories AN this is because we are living within a special, spacial soundscape we are hyper aware to our surrounding right now i felt i needed to connect with other people sound environment i also wanted to come back home, sometimes I miss the sounds of my city too In this weird situation I feel they live in a different world it really is a different world, we a different law and it's just a basic movement jurisdiction u are not allowed to hear more than this sometimes when I wake up in the morning it takes me a while to realise where I am I have really weird dreams since this whole thing started tonight i dreamed about a train workers strike it's more than two months that i am not taking a train it is 2 months that we didn't meet as a class I wonder if it will be weird to meet again, sit in the same place i'm afraid to touch my face sometimes, i'm feeling like is the vehicle of a plague it really is sometimes I feel like this apartment is the only thing that exists I go outside and everything seems like a hallucination everyone is running everywhere i think that Rotterdam now is like built on different tectonic plates, u have to jump to reach another island strong physical structure is needed that's why we are all exercising u need to do push ups to see your relatives maybe Rotterdam has drifted to another part of the world? who knows? maybe our location is further/closer to home i'm sure it happened this weather is too mediterranean But for real, I have such weird dreams I feel connected but yet disconnected I have this invisible stress all the time we just unlocked a new level this is a really good way to explain how I feel, a new level i feel the trees in my backyard are far more "saturated" than the ordinary yes! the green here is crazy! not like any other green I saw before i'm having this feeling when i'm going to the supermarket: i'm convinced that i will receive coins if i keep the 1.5 mt distance correctly I get it, the streets we used to walk before feel different is this a test about behaviour and citizens responsibility? i'm sure someone is taking scores There are a lot more people walking aimlessly, maybe they are looking for something familiar I even notice the stores signs more, some of them are really a work of neon art true, the miami coffee shop next to my place already stole my heart

such a tropical vibe

but we are soon landing on a desert somewhere, the mission is to repopulate it better this time The desert in Israel is big and beautiful You can get lost there and at night it seems like you are on the moon When I was 11 my father took me to the desert to wach a meteor shower it was a great night but you can really loose your mind in the desert holy land! do you have any sign to orient yourself? only stones, trees (?) i've been in a desert one time it was flat and covered with salt but pink flamingos too in the army they teach you how to navigate using the north star the stars are so bright in the desert if you want to really see the starts you should go there that makes me think about the mountains you are so distant from anything else you forget about the city, you are just above everything but you always know where you are somehow, you never feel lost that's nice I'm sure if you know the place you feel more comfortable in the dark as well maybe not is this just walking in the dark? i can't really keep distance between objects and thought approaching me I think that sometimes its dark, sometime its light, sometimes its in-between basically we have a broken shutter and we need to fix it it doesn't have to be fixed, I think that is the situation most of the time you are probably right, i just can't accept what i am seeing right know I feel very powerless against the powers that are in play we made a spillover moving from a material to another like the virus I agree, this days I feel one with the virus during the plague in the middle ages they used to believe than the disease derives from stinky air because the cities in the 14 century started to be super crowded out of nowhere of course the streets were full of excrements they also started to wear masks, this sort of giant beak with perfumed oils inside how do you think people in the future will call this time? this is interesting i think is a difficult question, i have to say we don't have really good names for the plagues of the past also because they were a lot of them they never end, they never start Maybe we imagined them and they didn't really happen I don't really believe in that but sometimes its hard to tell what is the truth or what is reality i can relate, and now i'm starting to reconsidering things that i always assumed they were true maybe this is too strange is stranger that fiction and i starting to believe in fiction I think now nothing is too strange maybe we need do embrace it this is the new truth whatever that means this is line 104, i think we need to eat yes let's do it
