I don’t need to be perfect—I just want to feel real.
In a world that moves too fast, many of us are quietly looking for a way to breathe. Our outdoor project isn’t about performance or competition. It’s about softness, slowness, and small moments of truth.
Whether you come alone or with friends, whether you shout your own slogan into the wind or sit quietly with a tree—you’re here. And that matters.
This is your space to move, connect, and heal. No pressure. Just presence.
Interview content :
Q: hi, I recently created a website about outdoor activities, hoping to encourage young people like you to go out and exercise more. Do you usually want to participate in such outdoor activities?
A: well, sounds kinda cool actually！ I actually want to go out and walk more. Nowadays, I have to stare at the screen every day. If it’s an outdoor activity but not too hardcore, such as relaxing walking, chatting with people, and taking some photos, I would be quite interested. I would prefer the style of chill.
Q: Our event is quite small, you can travel alone or in groups. Would you be willing to invite like-minded classmates to join us on site?
A: That sounds pretty good! I quite like this way of having a high degree of freedom. Sometimes I just want to wear headphones and take a walk to relax, and sometimes I feel more motivated if I have friends with me. How will your website motivate people to stick out? Will it rely on clocking in, or will there be any tasks or interactions. If there are no material rewards, how do I know that ‘going out’ is meaningful.
Q: We will have a tree named after you when we complete the activity. You coexist with the tree, and the core is freedom, inspiring upward vitality. Perhaps you will be interested?
A: This is so romantic! It’s like – I did a small thing, but there’s really a ‘place’ in the world because I’ve become different. It’s even more meaningful than winning a discount code. And the feeling of ‘binding the tree to my name’ is a bit cool, it’s like I’ve left some kind of energy in nature. Generation Z really knows how to eat this set, especially since everyone has been talking about connection and spiritual significance recently.
Q: The illustration style used in my website’s promotional poster, I think it’s like jelly cat, which can meet the emotional imbalance caused by the current Z generation young people and better accept them psychologically (similar to psychological healing properties). Is this helpful for you to join?
A: 100% sure, I am particularly interested in illustration styles! Nowadays, many things are too cold or very commercial, but your style is very soft, much like the picture books I liked when I was a child, or the healing stickers I collect now. It’s not the feeling of “forcing you to run”, but the feeling of “accompanying you slowly out”. As you said, it’s a bit like Jelly cat’s comforting presence. Looking at these pictures, I feel like ‘Ah, I can also try’, not pushed, but understood. Especially when my psychological state is not very stable, this art style makes me feel that the activity is safe and prepared for people like me, that kind of comfortable feeling.
Q: What is your biggest expectation for this event?
A: I think my biggest expectation is to reconnect myself and my body in a stress free environment. It’s really easy to “live in your mind” on social media deadline、 Information anxiety… all of these make people seem to forget that “getting moving” can actually be a very easy and happy thing. If this activity is really like what you said – you can participate alone or in groups, and you can see yourself “planting a tree” after completing it, then I would feel like, “Wow, I did a little bit, but it made sense, and it made me feel like I’m still alive.” I hope to meet people of the same kind who don’t have to socialize, but can take a walk together during the activity.
Q: What do you think makes you more likely to participate in outdoor activities?
A: To be honest, I think I am most likely to participate in outdoor activities because of the need for emotional outlet. It’s not because I love fitness or being an outdoor enthusiast, but sometimes when my emotions get really dull, I suddenly want to “leave my phone” or “leave my room”, even if it’s just going for a walk in the park, sunbathing, or breathing in the air – that moment makes me feel saved. If your website appeared in front of me when I was feeling down, it wasn’t saying ‘Let’s exercise and become thinner and stronger’, but rather saying ‘Hey, let’s go for a walk together, even if it’s just to feel better.’ I would really click on it. Of course, if there are still beautiful pictures, some fun, and the ability to decide the pace on my own, it will be easier for me to stay. So for me, what touched me the most was not the ‘outdoors’ itself, but its ability to become a gentle emotional outlet.
Q: What are you most looking forward to for my event?
A: What I am most looking forward to is the combination of “meditation to find oneself+taking a photo with my favorite tree”. The pace of daily life is too fast, and sometimes I don’t have time to stop and ask myself, ‘What have I been thinking lately?’ Especially since I know that this is not for liking on social media, but for a moment in my own heart Taking photos may just be a formality, but behind it is’ I recognize who I am at this moment ‘- which makes me feel valuable. The slogan shouting is also quite enjoyable haha. If it’s shouting with others and the atmosphere is good, I will definitely follow along, especially to relieve stress. But the meditation+tree part will make me remember it for a longer time, because it is the kind of moment that makes me ‘talk to myself ‘.
Q: Assuming you come up with a customized slogan that belongs only to you, what would you like to shout?
A: I’m not perfect, but I’m still walking! “It’s a bit like cheering myself on and a bit like telling others: I haven’t lived the way others want me to, but I have my own rhythm and I’m willing to keep moving forward, that’s enough.
