In 2014 at 26, right between the London and Rio Olympics, I had this realization. I was reading a bunch of books about people from the past who had made the future I lived in. It was then I knew the 2016 Olympics would be my last. I wanted to help build things for the future too. Big admirer of both performers and builders.
As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
