Mathilde: Oregon Track Star, Future Swiss Olympian (Dating, Recharge Life Battery, Recycled Fashion)

E

We welcome Mathilde Rey, a track and field star at the University of Oregon. She opens up about her move from Switzerland to The United States. We also discuss track and field, her goals of representing Switzerland in the Olympics, relationships and dating, difficulties she’s faced in America and much more! “I remember telling myself I wanted to kill myself and my parents didn’t know what to do or how to help me but sports did help.” “In Switzerland you are sure if a person likes you or not and if they act like your friend then it’s real but in the US I really struggled with that because it’s not that way here.” “I amuse myself trying to count the amount of money Oregon University puts into our uniforms and gear.” “We get treated very well at the University of Oregon and I am not used to that, athletes are treated like stars and celebrities here. In Switzerland people don’t really care.” “It’s nice getting the attention because people really care about track and it gives you a purpose. But if people approach you, I wonder if they like me for me or because I am an athlete.” “The dating culture in America is very different. People are really trying to have fun and when I came I wanted to find someone but it's harder here.” “I get along better with the international students because I feel like I can trust them more especially with the guys.” “One of the first things that comes to my mind in dating is whether I would show that dude to my family and would I want to present him or not.” “I actually enjoy the fact that I am here and I can do whatever I want without having to explain stuff like going out.” “If there is somebody that is supposed to be with me I am now just letting it come because I have a lot of other things I need to put effort into at this time.” “I feel like in order to really enjoy things sexually is to be connected with someone emotionally. I really can’t enjoy it if I don’t feel connected to the person.” “I found ways to regenerate my energy while recovering from giving it away and one of the things that really helps me is painting and drawing. It helps either distract my thinking or help process my thinking.”

These girls are always so worried about what they eat, it is no life to be jealous of.” “I’d say a majority of the models are extremely insecure.” “The fashion industry is a lonely world. The models act like friends but would stab each other in the back in a second.” “In some streets in Naples you don’t want to look anyone in the eye and keep your head down because you may see someone or something you don’t want to be witness too.”

Today on Bold Perceptions Jake and George discuss an important theme from the controversial novel Outwitting The Devil. Deemed to be too controversial to publish in the 1900’s, this book has turned into an absolute classic and specifically touches on tools the theoretical devil uses on humanity to take them to the dark side and rob them of living their best lives. One of the main tools is group thinking, or the loss of individual thought. This led Jake & George to a very insightful conversation and epiphanies about their own life.
