Life is a paradox, like this website. An online shop that doesn’t really sell anything. It only exists becuase I finally gave up on making it. It’s free to be whatever it is.

The name comes from an angsty poem and a Star Wars tongue twister. The root is older. I was obsessed with an idea, of a past and a future that revolves around the present. This now was a kind of door that opened in all directions.

The angsty poem had a passage:

“I come from our future, to heal our past, all for this, this now, where time does not exist”.

I registered thisnow.co.uk straight away.

As a child of Star Wars: I thought of the scrambled looped message “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi / You’re our only hope” – I tried to say it myself, like a tongue twister. The words were transformed in my mouth. I felt like a private key.

Only one can know. Be. It’s our only hope.

I’ve been waiting a long time to let go and accept the lesson. But I registered thisnow.be all the same.

Then covid happened. I’d always wondered what I’d do If I had the time. For me, I needed to fail, give up and let go. If you lose everything, anything is possible.
