one baker has shared an anonymous fragment of their life all from France. every entry is one person describing the shape of their own days — hours of sleep, money, stress, what they actually feel — to be read and weighed by strangers who never know who they are.

asked whether they would trade lives with bakers, 78 strangers have answered. the result is decisively yes — most strangers say they would take this kind of life: 76% would trade, 12% would not, 12% are unsure.

the reactions readers most often leave on bakers' fragments are: enviable, peaceful, and inspiring. these tags are picked from a fixed list, so the words above carry the weight that strangers actually placed on them, not anything we paraphrased.
