The Games We Play

A FRIDAY READ · THE GAMES WE PLAY.CO.UK

A woman in vintage tennis attire, including a pleated skirt and headband, playing tennis on a court with spectators in the background.

Everyone was playing. Not everyone knew the rules.

Vintage black-and-white photo of a racing event with multiple open-wheel race cars moving on a track, spectators seated in stands, and a banner advertising lubricants.

Speed, precision, the appearance of effortless control.

Black and white photo of the Fortnum & Mason store in London with flags and signs, parked vintage cars, and people walking on the street.

The game of appearances, perfected since 1707.

Every week throws everything at you. Work. Relationships. Expectations. The version of yourself everyone else needs.

Somewhere between who you are and who you're supposed to be — there's a space. Most people never pause long enough to look at it.

This is that pause.
