Self Portrait

Like most people, I only contacted my family
during the pandemic through massaging and video calls. We celebrated the new year, birthdays, and anniversaries and tried to compensate for the Covid unfortunate situation. Still, I missed holding the hands of my loved ones and hugging them
tightly. It does not matter how many kisses we send each other through the blue screen and mimic hugging; it does not heal my heart. This self-portrait reminds me of the most bizarre moment I had to go through during the lockdown. While I was on the verge of a mental breakdown and waiting for my family to call, it was impossible to mask my anxious face.
I needed to smell my mom's jasmine perfume, get a kiss from my grandmother on the forehead, and ask my sister to make me tea.

The time froze, and I kept listening to the phone ringing...
