EXPERIENCE / 01

"The world simply makes no sense."

Standing in the wilderness waiting for rain all night, only to have dawn break and bring nothing but a dry wind, swirling sand against your face.

Under the weight of piled books and endless assignments, we are enveloped by the pressure of life. This sense of absurdity strikes unexpectedly.

The path we strive for—we can't even explain why we started. Things labeled "must be done well" suddenly lose their weight.
