I am increasingly bothered by the fact that any piece of media that comes out is already old in less than 24 hours. Everybody feels the urge to have a strong take, to dissect it and analyze it. In doing so, we lose the ability to let a piece of media filter through our minds and become part of us.

It was the summer of 2018. I was a bit burnt out by a mix of anxiety, work and a bloody hot week. So, I decided to go to my parent’s mountain house. The plan was straightforward: go there, disconnect from the world, write fiction, read books, do long walks in nature. I wanted to do the things I used to do a long time ago when life was breezy :D.

However, after just one day, I found myself doing the same things I usually do at home: checking news, looking for interesting, reading opinions, checking Twitter and so on. It was then that: I did not know how to relax anymore. I did not know how to be creative anymore.
