Everybody has days when you feel like you were built just to be knocked over — dented, chipped, exhausted — kind of like a bowling pin.
Most of that fight happens quietly, where nobody sees it, and that can make you wonder if getting back up even matters.
This piece is a reminder that it does — that there’s something real and beautiful in that unseen strength.
And that’s why it ends on Adidas: a small nod to those who refuse to stay down.

And yes… I did make the emotional climax happen inside one those cheesy bowling animations we all love to make fun of. Obviously.

Quick Note: All the animations on my site are concept pieces — I’m a writer first, so this is basically my way of saying, “Look, it makes more sense if I just show you.”
