When it’s all falling down on you
You’re crying out but you’re breaking in two
When it’s all crashing down on you
When there’s nothing you can do
There is someone who can carry you
Sylvia - The Antlers (Official Video)
Absolutely adore songs like this.
So haunting, so surreal, and it depicts a thousand and one emotions.
Currently one day of proper sleep since sunday.
Really crap work produced so far since I started not sleeping at all during nights and just do work all the way.
Time to go back to the start.
It always seems the harder I try, the harder I fall.
Reminder to self: ALWAYS let go, and let God.
Just hope its not too late.
It's never too late, right?
"If God doesn't give you your endeavors, it's not because you don't deserve it, but you deserve more."
An interview with God.
Man: What surprises You most about humankind?
God: That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die and die as though they had never lived.
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
