I can’t wait to use my calendar and have Sunday as a restitution day after a long week.

 

I can’t wait to go to a concert and feel the rush through my body at the first kicks on the bass drum.

I can’t wait to have sore feet, rasping throat and a little tinnitus afterwards.

 

I can’t wait to not think: “I caught it” when I wake up with a headache.

I can’t wait till Corona isn’t the main topic of most conversations.

 

I can’t wait to fear the long needle coming towards my shoulder. Both times.
