The Cobweb - by Alex Do.it.GogCast - E006 - Experiența (mea) COVID-19În acest episod din GogCast am să vă povestesc în aproximativ 20 de minute, cum am trecut eu prin CO(rona)VI(rus)D(isease)-(20)19 - Sau COVID-19.
N-a fost chiar așa simplu, dar s-a terminat cumva cu bine, deși încă mai sunt semne de întrebare și acum, la aproape 2 luni după contactul cu boala.
Ca și sugestie, v-aș recomanda să nu lăsați garda jos nici după ce faceți vaccinul, și mai ales dacă alegeți, sau nu puteți să îl faceți.
Stay safe, stay healthy!

Acest concept atât de simplu și totuși atât de complex reprezintă o rutină din viața noastră. Cât de des v-ați întrebat cine este un/o prieten/ă adevarat/ă? Oare de cât timp este nevoie pentru a putea considera pe cineva prieten? Ce anume trebuie îndeplinit pentru a considera pe cineva prieten? Eu și Adelin am vorbit astăzi despre acest termen care pare atât de simplu, realizând și faptul că: Prietenia este ca piesele de puzzle. Ele sunt acolo, d...
