Don’t be afraid. The love you have will be expressed even if not verbally. It will plunge you into the utmost chaos and when you feel that torture you will know that you truly love. It is the fear of that chaos which will ultimately be your downfall. Love and chaos are brothers in this fight. When you love and believe you are not loved back you find yourself a tortured soul, with colours losing their vibrancy and sounds becoming lack-lustre. Your environment becomes an empty void in which you live a (believed) meaningless existence. When you love and are loved back you find your soul uplifted into a chaotic state in which colours become more vibrant and sounds become vivid and pronounced. Your environment becomes a magnificent painting in which you live a life with more meaning than you could ever imagine. The point of this game is to always feel the latter and the trick is to love and not worry about being loved back. Take the time to get to know those around you and spend your life showing those you hold close just how much you love them. Forget the torment of a lack-lustre life and approach love as a child; without expectation or ulterior motive. Love selflessly, and don’t stop. Ever.
Peace, love and revolutions
When I was young, I loved fried bananas on toast in the morning. So deep was my love for this cullinary marvel that I envisioned the creation of a Fried Banana Machine. This machine would manufacture its produce en masse, feeding the crowds and making them feel truly free.
About.This
Where do I start? I've never done anything remotely like this before. But I think I could get into this whole 'blogging' thing. Although, I have to say, this is not a blog per se. I'd like to say it's a journey, but it's not even that - I'm not one of those people who go on life 'journeys' and come out the other side having realised something special, extra special or even slightly special. I can count the number of realisations I've had in my lifetime on one hand and, being 27, that's saying a lot. No, this is not a blog, a journey or a realisation. It's more a way for me to express, and therefore, find freedom from...myself. You see, over the years, I've been incredibly self-focused; caught up inside my own mind so often that the world seemed insignificant and passed me by in a horrible blur. You could almost say that my thoughts own me. I feel like a prisoner in my own mind, with my thoughts being much like the head guard in that film I watched the other night who, in gruff and authoritative voice, proclaimed, "your asses, belong to me", to the group of unsuspecting and soon to be startled prisoners who'd wandered into the hallway. I've somehow figured out that if I clear my mind each day, I may be able to find some sort of peace and finally be absolved from myself. So, I'm going to attempt to put my daily thoughts down on 'paper', so to speak, in the form of this..thing...I've created - not a blog, not a journey, not a realisation - but my life, in all it's somewhat glory; unadulterated. I'd actually like to call it my sanctuary; the place to which I can retreat when life gets tough but...that'd just be strange...
I also hope that this helps others out; I know that out of the six billion people in the world, at least some will have a similar problem or, at the very least, will be able to find some solution to the various problems they encounter in their own lives through my posts. But, above all, I hope that this will all be taken with a pinch of salt and be seen for its entertainment value (if it turns out to be entertaining at all). I've tried to inject this 'project' with as much of my own personality as possible so you'll probably find the posts to be quirky, (hopefully) humourous, slightly schizophrenic and even a little dark at times. However, they will no doubt also provide food for thought and will be intelectually stimulating.
