‘Writer’s Block’
Dear future Historian,
I could swear that I won’t make it. But why would I ever swear such a thing? It is funny what words are coming out of people’s mouths. Heavy words. Words that fall down on them like sticky honey, only to attract bees and… what am I even saying? (Have bees survived in your time?)

Anthology 2
Dear Future Historian,
My cat has no idea about the pandemic. No clue at all. She is just laying here carelessly, on her cushion-bed, completely unaware that this is the first time that I am living in something you see on the ‘news.’ It’s a bit like being inside a post-apocalyptic movie, hoping it’s not a Tarantino film.

My sunflower scheme interview is on YouTube
Dear future historian,
I have an assessment left in a couple of days, and some other stuff I must first do, before I can enjoy your company again; but.. my sunflower scheme interview is on YouTube, and I thought to share the links with you here.

Topic: boundaries
Dear Future Historian,
So.. tomorrow morning, I have a recording about my sunflower lanyard! That's quite exiting. But, as you know by now my dear future Historian.. I am not totally coping lately. I have two assignments due coming Thursday, and I haven't written, but 340 words so far. Also, I have neglected you. And.. you know. When I neglect you that always mean that I neglect myself. Today I had an epiphany. Well, not sure if it counts as epiphany, because Dayna Martin helped me get to that realization.. but still. It was like she was my muse.

Just thought to say hi, before I sleep
Dear future historian,
I really missed you.
But I had to overcome a bit of a burn out, a bit of break up, a bit of paperwork, a bit of rearranging the house, regaining a room.. (remember that I had 'ask' for one?* Well.. I have one now! - still same house.) Long story short: I missed you.

It's my name day today. Facebook reminded me, I had totally forgotten.

Autism parenting stories
Dear Future Historian,
I had two home labours.
Not really because I am brave, but because I was with my sister when she had her baby, in a private posh clinic. She was induced, but then they didn't let her push because her doctor was late, and the happy ending of a beautiful, healthy boy distracted us from the fact that that night, her first night as a mum, she didn't stop crying on my solder, after 26 hours in a labour that could last much less. I was 19 then and didn't pay much attention to the underlying PTSD that I also got that night.
