Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

 First go at one of these with an actual vinyl :) very excited and already got an idea in mind. Only doing a the song as eyes can not take screentime outside of work these days. Thank goodness I was on site today. Anywayyyy +++++ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXdNnw99-Ic 0:00 This song has resonated so strongly with my heart recently. The multitude of vague meaning, alongside the overarching one with this albums dedication to Syd Barrett, makes for such an impactful record content wise. I feel even the harshest, coldest personas would struggle to openly dislike such a track.  0:28 I love how this song opens with such a weird introduction. The ambiguous weirdom and comical sound effects creates such a juxtaposition with the lofi acoustics that follow. I picture in my head people expecting this to be an empty song following that entrance, and then to be left starstruck at the encapturing guitar. 1:32 With such slow power and direct terminology, this open dialogue throughout th...

Spilling my cup to myself whilst on discord to laura

Typing while in conversation so sorry if it doesnt read in points. But I need to exhale right now so. Feel very scrunched up inside. It is just emotions. Emotions do not exist - they are merely mechanisms for interpreting emotions. You are beyond that and can rise above anxieties. The mind is larger but is brought down to its knees by these obstacles. Sidestepping them is the most effective method of overcoming.  Focus on you and your vicinity will become wider and your focus will get greater and you will become more mindful of life and the purpose which you have glimpsed. During these times of mental hardship within the mind, remember the persistent dance that is around you and within you. All energy comes from this, and all this energy is positive so let yourself remember that all energy wishes to be positive. Follow the trends of your body, not those of the external community. If social media is causing detriment, be rid of it. Only make use of things in ways which are for the g...

 I feel your pain. This adversity is scary and there is no place to seek solace. All your fears of societal collapse do rightfully feel valid. But remember, anxiety is a disease too. As it grows in you and your surroundings, your brain allows it to become more prevalent and consumptive. That's okay, its not your fault. It is not you and you are still very unsure even of the definition. But you have to learn to fight. There is much confusion right now. Nobody knows where to look. It is like the entire world has been put on a tightrope. And I know it felt like that already what with this climate crisis you are growing more concerned about each moment. But remember that humans can withstand such tension with appropriate training and dedication. You must do this. Use that as your purpose.  Accept that you are going to choose life, and so establish this within your mind. It will help to get the little spark you require to drive on further than you can imagine right now, beyond the ...

Apr '21 Absorb

  Absorb With similarities in energy levels, the excitement from last month has evolved into a pile of energy which I have been aborbing as best as I can! With lots of emotions, screentime and brand new information to soak up, this has been mighty overwhelming at times, and midway through the month I really began to struggle, losing out on routine practises of meditation in particular. However, I am once again finding my feet, stronger than before, as ever. To absorb requires dedication. It demands delicacy and intricacy to be paired with a wideframe-scooping for optimal absorption. Not only that, but it too needs one allow for imperfection. Perfect absorption of energy is entropically impossible. A carefully accepted awareness of the magnitude of information within the universe allows this to be welcomed into a mindstate. And I stress careful once more, because without care regarding the procedures and parameters to bring about order, the overwhelming input from absorption descend...
