Le plus dur dans une relation, c’est de partager le silence

Le plus dur dans une relation, c’est de partager le silence // The hardest part of a relationship is sharing the silence

Today’s prompt is “relationship”, relation.

The quote above belongs to David Foenkinos, French author and screenwriter. Tell you what — it’s kind of true for extroverts. Introverts might disagree. For them (or should I say, us), the most difficult part of anything is to find that silence to share. Or at least to find a place where the noise is created by us, not by other people. That is to say, listening to our own music is fine. Being force-fed somebody else’s music is not. And if the alien music is bad, Spanish shame kicks in. Balcony-bound extroverts, please take note.

Anyway. Canaries are proposing their own schedule of coming out of quarantine, being the least affected autonomous community of Spain. The proposal, which is released via mass media, has some very interesting parts in it — like for example that one day people from houses with odd numbers can come out, the other day — with even ones. I mean, huh? I don’t even have a document where it says which number I live in... Oh well. As the example with kids shows, best to wait a few days before things become clearer.
