“It’s easy to sleepwalk through life, following paths that have been laid out by other people, and there are people profiting from us doing so. That feels especially true in our era of social media, food-delivery apps, Zoom meetings, the online dating marketplace. It’s easy to be lonely and lazy, filling ourselves up with passive entertainment, and never quite getting around to creating something ourselves. The alternative — getting together with people, dreaming something up and turning it into reality — can be messy, tiring, friction-filled, overwhelming, frustrating, imperfect. But also energising, funny, singular, satisfying, memorable; connecting you to people, building confidence, humbling you, teaching you things, helping you grow. It’s actually living. I need to be reminded of that sometimes, and I hope that’s what these stories do.”
