Slipped Away…

Трка без старт: кога почнува ‘доцнењето’?
Притисокот на генерацијата што расте меѓу очекувања, споредби и брзина без пауза Колку вреди еден живот — ако го мериме во години, а не во длабочина? Постои нешто тивко, но постојано, што нè следи додека растеме. Не е гласно како критика, ниту топло како поддршка. Тоа е чувство. Чувство дека времето нè гледа. Дека општеството…

There are strong words that impose themselves, that snap, that take up space. And then there is silence. A discreet word, erased, pushed in the background, yet it contains the universe.
