“Live fast, die young.”
“Work hard, play hard.”
Such quotes and hustle culture results in a lifestyle we feel we can’t catch up with. We delude ourselves into thinking everyone is ahead and we’re being left behind. We live in technicolour but then the colours start to blend into one, bleeding at the edges and talk becomes a tumult. Your thoughts can’t rise above the din as you sink into the details of your life, like getting caught up in a movie. You’re so engaged, so absorbed, so…lost in the emotions of the main character. You laugh with them, you cry with them but what we forget is that similar to a movie, we can switch off the daily show that is our life.
