What’s reality? I don’t know. When my bird was looking at my computer monitor I thought, ‘That bird has no idea what he’s looking at.’ And yet what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can’t really panic, he just does the best he can. Is he able to live in a world where he’s so ignorant? Well, he doesn’t really have a choice. The bird is okay even though he doesn’t understand the world. You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.

  I still don’t know to see imperfections in external things, but it has become evident to me that I could start seeing the imperfections in myself.

  Things that which I don’t have any control over.

  Traits of me that I’m insecure about:

  It’s okay when someone gets bored of me. It’s okay if someone loses interest over me.

  Because more than often, these things only happen in my head than in reality.

• Illusion of Objective Beauty

  Assuming that Objectivity exists, is infactuation a proof of it that lets us see the Objective Beauty of another person?

  Or is it a proof of anti-Objectivity, that once the illusion of infactuation wears off, we quickly tend to start seeing them as they are, opposed to the Platonic ideal that existed in our minds?

• Art Beyond the Artist

  I still believe that the greatest thing a person can do has nothing to do with how much of a good person he was. People tend to forget the flaws of a person soon after they die, but even when they’re alive.

  Regardless of whether you’re recognised for it, the best thing you could do is leave behind a piece of media that’ll be remembered for a long time.

  Homer. George Lucas. Hideo Kojima.

  This mostly resonates with my dislike towards the modern cancel culture. Why expect political correctness from the artist rather than the art. Even why should we expect it from the latter?

  I didn’t necessarily mean I’ll make something that’ll be worthy of being preserved and remembered for generations.

  I don’t know if I’m capable of that.

  But I’ll forever have respect for those who had a vision and accurately brought it to life. The society’s obsession with hating those who pursue a career in arts is only because they haven’t made it yet and not because there’s anything wrong in what they’re doing

  How do you describe the feeling where you spend time watching the same old stuff that you keep seeing everyday, but suddenly everything appears more beautiful and heartwarming?

  There’s a freeway that connects my Uni to the City. I’ve been through this same route more than a hundred times and yet it never appeared remarkable.

  Yet suddenly, my sight was so surreal, like the feeling I get in those expensive trips that I go with my pa7rents.

  I’ve seen comments in the tweets of @hikingshawty where people often mention how it is impossible to get out of depression by touching grass when they live in a shitty third world and not England.

  The same feeling resonated in me a lot, until moments like these when normal everyday stuff invoke the same feeling in us.

  It is easy to say “be content with what you have” or “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see”. But why is it that we don’t always feel the same?

  Why does a part of me always want to be mad and angry about everything?
