Nyssa.

What has been your progression of feelings towards recent events as they have been unfolding?

At first, panic and lots of uncertainty on how things were changing and if we would be completely locked down. But now I mostly feel sad and numb.

Looking at how the world is at the moment does it make you rethink plans you had for the future?

I feel much more motivated to get my life back on a course that I feel is productive. This year has really shown me how fragile everything is, and I really want to go out and help change things next time something happens.

Do you use dreams as an escape from reality? If so, why? Is it a coping mechanism?
Is it because reality doesn't live up to what you thought it could be?

Often, and I believe it is a coping mechanism. I guess I’m very unhappy with a lot of things in my life, things I can change and not, and being someone else for a while is nice, sometimes I need a break.

If you were to live anywhere in the world, where would you like to be?

I think I’d like to be in a place high up in the alps. Maybe on some land with green fields and sheep and a stream bubbling through it all. Somewhere quiet where I can sit at a large window and look out to mountains and mist.
