To be honest, I’m trying to get a balance between posting things that are deep, meaningful and important (social issues, politics etc)
but also to make them a bit jokey or fun (little posts about going the pub, past experience etc).
Some posts are strong but I think it’s important that we can challenge things in society
Many of them are streams of conciousness (in the moment).
Sometimes I feel all love and like being like a hippy (at one with nature), sometimes I just want to joke and sometimes I feel like it’s useful to vent about things (be in a punk or rock sort of mood)
It’s a fine line (or a tight rope)
And I’m being vulnerable and daring in parts
But I think it’s important to be open as much as possible
And it’s an outlet for me
But I try to write about all sorts
The aim is for it to be authentic, raw and honest (this is the most open I’ve possibly ever been, but circumstances have brought that out of me and I’m finding it so useful to ‘write’ and I’m having fun with it (in tough times)
I’m not perfect by any means, but I always try to keep learning more and express my personality
I don’t think anyone is perfect
And I think society needs to embrace imperfections more (especially from a mental health point of view)
Other parts are a bit fictional
Some bits are *** ambiguous *** (bit me, bit alter ego)
Part of the fun I think
I know my style is a little different
Sometimes I feel like isolated from society (alone, lost etc).
Sometimes I feel very much part of it (well liked and appreciated)
Sometimes I don’t know what society wants
You to be putting on a front or joking around or keepin’ conversation light
Or
To get deep, meaningful and open
But
I try to post things that are inward and outward
Things connected more than we think perhaps
It’s a bit of everything I’ve learnt from being at uni, jobs I’ve had and learnt in my own time (as well as experiences good and bad in the past)
I don’t have a massive following but I embrace it
Re lyrics I put up
And
The site in general
I want to celebrate underrated bands or artists who are brave, expressive and show their different personalities
I think lyrics can be really important to relate to
Many of the lyrics I’ve put up on the lyrics wall if you like are ones I relate or experiences I’ve had on nights out or days out or in jobs or whatever
Some of them are quite possibly relatable to anyone and/or lead you to a new band or they look good (whatever really, bit of an experiment if you like)
There’s times I just want to let stuff out (whether I’m being rational or emotional, or both)
In the moment
I want to encourage people to talk or write or let stuff out or relate to lyrics or whatever really
There’s times I feel like I’m a bit of everything music wise and times I feel like I’m a contradiction in some ways but I think it’s good to be open to all sorts (as long as it’s doesn’t hurt anyone)
There’s so much *** contridiction *** , toxicity and division **** in society
There’s people are open, there’s people who don’t want to know
I’m trying to be positive
Trying to find ways to people can connect and things to relate to (sometimes I just want to scream though and say forget it but there we are)
But we’re all human
And we get negative sometimes I think
Well
I don’t know
I’m not an expert
I’ve found it’s helped me doing this a lot though
I still struggle
But who doesn’t
I’ll put this out now
