It’s been indeed a long weekend. My mind is full and my body wants to take a break despite it being the third week of 2021.

We are busy, operate much more like machines, days go by quickly, and we rarely have enough time to be alone and think because we’re often looking at our small, medium, big — you name it — screen.
