Does it seem like you’re seeing the world through a blue filter?ShareLink copied ✔️November 13, 2015Arts+CultureFeatureText Hannah Rose Ewens You perpetually find yourself trying and failing to keep up with society’s impossible demands. Your family are middle-class. Come to think of it, you don’t have any friends who aren’t. You’d quite like a father figure but frankly, all the men in your life are all socially impregnable middle-aged men. You can’t help shake the feeling that your life is being romanticised by muffled, impressionistic indie in some way. Everything feels like it’s moving very slowly.

It’s impossible to explain to anyone, but it feels as though you view life through a coloured filter.
