In a world that favors instant gratification and perfectionism it is easy to feel behind, like everything exceeds me before I even manage to take a breath. Especially now, when everywhere I look—augmented bodies. Augmented faces. Augmented personalities. A world expanding so fast it forgot to ask if I wanted to come along.
It comes naturally to feel, but sometimes, we experience feelings that seem indescribable at first. It’s the general mood that triggers an emotion, a vibe. It’s hard to sew such an abstract state into a conceptual idea. But by breaking down basic senses, I learned how to invent ideas based on the atmosphere.
You’re hitting PBs. You feel fitter than ever—until it hits you. A strange pain that doesn’t go away, or worse, an injury. Maybe you’ve got a race coming up, and the last thing you want is a setback. I get it—I’ve been there. It’s annoying and demotivating. But as much as it feels like a defeat, there’s also an opportunity to fight back.
