May Kurazh

It’s hard to fit what Kurazh is into a single definition, but let’s try to describe this "state of matter."

It is when:

• "Aaaa, can you hear it? This is our song!" — shouted over a video call to your partner.

• Your dog has met everyone faster than you did.

• You stepped into the lecture hall for 10 minutes just to grab a seat—and ended up staying until the very end.

• The food court line turns into a social club with shared interests.

• You run into a random hug that was exactly what you needed.

• "I think we’ve bought everything..." — "Well, let's do one more lap around the flea market and then we head home."

• Sipping an espresso tonic and pretending it's not cold (if the sun is out, it's warm, right?).

• You forgot where you put your sunglasses and already bought a stylish vintage pair (only to find the old ones on top of your head later).

• You accidentally overhear strangers talking and share your expert opinion (only if they’re wearing a "Wanna meet people" sticker!).

And overall, it’s when you pull a chair out to the fountain in the middle of a warm day, squint your eyes at the sun, and think — "Now, this is living."
