I thought that I could just roll out of bed in the morning and switch on my computer, which would allow me to sleep longer. However, after a while I realised that I saw other people less and less. The distancing become the new reality. We had to study on our own and complete a lot of assignments and read a lot of instructions. When you have ADD and slight dyslexia like me, this means that the work becomes much more time consuming, than if I could sit on lectures. I became ever more stressed and anxious because of my studies. I stopped eating. I guess this gave me the illusion of control in a time of chaos. Most of my gigs for the summer were cancelled, but fortunately I landed another summer job within tourism. In the autumn they decided to keep the studies as distance. This meant that there were hardly any extra curricular activities or social events at all. Moreover, my long-term relationship ended around these times, which increased my feeling of isolation and loneliness. Now the situation is improving and I am starting to have a routine in my studies. I still feel as if I am living in a bubble, though. I know I am not alone in feeling like this. As an introvert it becomes even harder to socialise in these times. What saved me and gave me focus was my music. Colla Records reached out to me in the spring and I have been working on my album ever since. This has given me a way to channel my feelings. I started eating again. Music helped me and now I want to help others through my music. That’s why together with Pohjanmaan kriisikeskus Valo/Österbottens kriscenter Valo we want to convey the message: Help is available if you dare to seek it! These feelings of emptiness/loneliness and isolation is something we have tried to convey in my music video.
