Seriously?
Like honestly, what are we here for?
I get there’s the whole religious aspect of it and then there’s the whole nihilistic aspect of things and we hit this moral grey line where people are like “fucks aren’t given…”
Which is all fine and dandy in the world if you truly just want to live your life.
The thing is, we know everything is on fire atm and there seems to be no end to it all.
Religions versus religions, political leanings versus political leanings and just a plethora of bare knuckle emotions versus bare knuckle emotions…
And frankly it’s tiresome.
We’re all confused and fatigued and well we just want that little slice of peace where we can do what we want and share it with the world.
And while in the last few weeks/months I’ve been balls deep into high level quantitative math and statistics…
I was clearing out a few notebooks and stumbled on my “The world sucks and we’re all going mad but it’s up to us to make things cool” notebook.
And the premise was and has always been part of my philosophy on life which I learnt from my grandpa was;
Work hard and don’t be a dick to people.
Fairly simple right?
Do good work. Put the time in and even when things are looking like they’re flying off the edge of a cliff without parachute, taking a deep breath and treating people the way you want to be treated, will be vastly better for you and the people who either cross your path or spend some time with you and to be that’s where it’s at.
I’ve been sucked into the whole guru carousell lately because I still have friends who have to dance that tune but when they talk about it. I think to myself, why?
Yes we live in a capitalist society where money drives everything but at what cost?
How do we escape all of this?
And so it’s led me to believe and I am passionate about it is…
Find something you adore and love and treasure and let that kill you.
Will it be hard? Yes.
Will it be rewarding though? Double yes.
And so if you’re stuck in your creative pursuit. You need to sit down and think real hard on what you want to do for the next few years…
You can do shit that looks cool when you post about it on social media or you can do shit that really sets your soul on fire and leaves you feeling fulfilled with catering to that online crowd.
You’ve been lied to about this space and that’s what we need to face going forward.
2026 has been wild but we need to prep for 2027 and kick it right in the nuts.
So let me know about the cool shit you wanna do going forward, cause if nobody else has your back…
Just know that I have yours.
