Sometimes, my body feels like the only place where I can be vulnerable. Sometimes, instead, it feels like the most dangerous place. A self-destructive jail that knows only how to inflict pain. How to escape? Where to escape? Where can I find the comfort, the care, I cannot find within myself? Should I take advantage of my cyborg nature? Should I just escape online and meet my no-face friends? Are they gonna take care of me? Should I just sit in my room where I feel safe? Or maybe I should go outside, to the city, and meet the others. But I am tired. I am tired of the city as it is now. I am tired of how hectic, how fast, how violent this growth machine is. This place where I feel like I have to run, run, run all the time, and If I don't I'll be crushed. It feels that there is no space where I can sit still, where I can be in silence, where I can be slow. How did we become like this? Why can’t we all just be connected, like a network of fungi, a rhizomatic being, an interdependent network of care. What if we are too separated now? Too far away from each other. What if it is not possible anymore? I don’t want to lose hope.
