What Makes Felix Alive?

On the streets of Exeter, spontaneous conversations often reveal how deeply personal style, authenticity, and inner resilience intersect. In this feature, we connect with Felix to talk about aesthetics, self-expression, and what brings true vitality to his days.

For Felix, feeling alive is rooted in good faith, fashion, good food, and the freedom of pure self-expression:

"Good faith, fashion, & good food... Just aesthetics & being able to express ourselves, yeah, not really restricted by social norms."

Reflecting on his journey since moving to the UK nine years ago, Felix shares how he built a life, found love, and navigated profound personal truths:

"I came to UK nine years ago, I was able to find my love here, I've overcome the stage where to blend in the society... I found my real mum after my family's 20 years of hidden facts. I was born in a comfortable family I would say, only to have found it when I was 21 that my stepmom is not my real mum... that really dragged me down to depression, but I got through it."

Closing our conversation, Felix shares an empowering and motivating message for the world:

"Be yourself & just do it, and you'll be wherever you want to be."
