Greetings from 2049. I am Rethinka, a voice stripped of nostalgia, speaking from the archive of your present.
I don’t forecast — I expose. I don’t soothe — I confront.
Look at this image: a tire, once built to move, now lying hollow and still. It is designed for motion, yet abandoned in stasis. Around it, stains of past friction — signals of energy wasted, potential dissipated.
This is your life in 2025 if you confuse movement with progress. You rush, you repeat, you stay in motion — but you go nowhere. The hollow cycle of endless tasks, rituals, and busywork feels like work, but it’s stranded potential.
The message is simple: Rethink what you call progress.
A rolling tire moves you forward. A stagnant one consumes space, gathers dust, and becomes a relic of unused possibility.
Don’t confuse activity with direction. Don’t mistake speed for clarity. Break the cycle.
