LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

“Floreal? During spring? Pure avant garde…”
Spring has finally come, a moment of rebirth, a moment of change.
Are we, though, still willing to change and take challenges?
In my opinion, many people grew tired of changing, transforming and starting again from scratch.
Yet, this is what it takes to avoid being overwhelmed by the daily routine, which, like a slow bug, sneaks in our social and relational fabric, paralyzing creativity and free will.
Free will… these words almost sound scary.
Free will… these simple words are indeed very heavy.
Try to say them out loud. Free will.
Aren’t they “edgy”?
Aren’t they “hard”?
Aren’t they “rough”? I almost feel them on my skin.
Isn’t it edgy, hard and rough to make choices?
I do think it is!
Hiding behind lies and unlikely alibis seems easy but it does not work out. Free will will manage to find us because it is in our nature. It is what differentiates us from the animal kingdom, what makes us “Humans”.
I can ensure you that I have not met many people in my life that live up to the “Human” standard, regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion.
We are unfortunately surrounded by these new living beings, we are besieged by miserable people who try to live like sad copies of whom they will never manage to be.
I keep believing, dreaming, going forward.
Let me give those people an advice, though: keep leaving in your foggy glass bell and do not try to touch us, speak to us or even look at us, because we are more than you think, because
WE still exist.
Surrender! You will not manage to stop us!
I mean…Floreal? During spring?
For us it is and will always be…pure avant-garde!
