The Northern 📍

  Ghosts      I continue to be haunted by ghosts from a life I once knew. A life, which hardly can be recognized by the world in which I currently reside within. Individuals from a past, that no longer recognize me. A world, which continues to send its messengers to haunt me, even to this day.      I often wish I could understand the purpose of these visits. To grasp what it is I need to take away, from each encounter. Is there something left over from a previous life, that I’ve yet to handle? Or are these visits meant for me to take action, and create a bridge between then and now? Am I meant to move forward and chase these visitors? Or are they simply here to haunt me, plunging me further and further into the depths of chaos?        The knowledge of another world continues to slip through my hands. Having spent a lifetime, building up something, and coming so close to reaching it- only to have it slip right through my hands. The c...

Chaos.      Art does not become born, under perfect conditions. Sailors do not become seamen, sitting in a harbour. The necessity of absolute madness, surrounded by the very uncertainty of death, is required to birth something which has not yet been seen. The secret recipe, towards creation and all which it holds within.      These are the ingredients we must learn to embrace within our lives. These are the forces which we must learn to conquer. The very powers which seek to destroy us, must be turned within. The very energy which was meant to kill us, must be harnessed and released back again The never-ending cycle of coming and going, highs and lows. The waves within the tide, as the water rises, before returning to its new norm. The back-and-forth flow of the Universe, pulling and pushing us apart until there is no more.      Life is a strange journey. No matter what route we take, we all end up the same. Death waits for no man, and with i...

  Wake Up!      Things are no longer what they used to be. The world is changing at a frantic pace.        Change is inevitable. In a world full of chaos, change is necessary. It is what drive the world forward. It is the root cause for which we as humans adapt and push beyond our limits. It is the force which leads us to new beginnings. A force, which cannot be stopped. We may try our best to slow it down, we may even try to delay it- however the inevitable shall always remain. The only guarantee in life, is that there are no guarantees. That whatever there is to happen, will occur sooner rather than later.      Living in this time period has been exhausting. The never-ending fear and arguments with those who are less informed, draining. Things are about to get wild, and at this point I’m here for it. I no longer have the power nor strength to resist said changes any longer. I no longer wish to fight in defending something which ev...

  Wise Men Say- Only Fools Rush In.      But I can’t help, falling in love with you.      Had that stuck in my head this morning. No clue why. Can’t say I’m anywhere close to rushing in to anything at this point. However, I still find it to be one of the better songs I know.        Music and art have taken such a turn for the worse. Everything today is made with the goal of simply being bought and mass-consumed, to market and sell a product which holds zero emotional importance. It has been completely hijacked to nothing more than a game of numbers- be it on the billboard or in the bank account. The entire arts industry is at one of the worse crossroads of all-time. Which is a direst reflection of the society we currently live in.      We live in a period where arts and culture are dying. Slowly but surely, everything is beginning to fall apart. Music and cinema have completely lost their soul. These once-great forms ...

  The Solo Journey.      Being an artist requires one to walk their own path. It requires them to move in a direction, when others cannot see where you step.      The journey of an artist is one filled with people who doubt and disbelieve in what you do. They will mock, judge, and even disagree with the path. Yet one things remains true, above all else- it is not their path to take.      I often think of the quote that ships are safer in the harbour, but thats not what ships were built to do. The idea that we as individual will always be safer by staying conserved and in line, rather than stepping out and putting ourselves out there. In a sense, it’s right. We are safer, staying in the harbour. We are guaranteed food, friends, family, and a good life. But that’s not what ships were built for, is it? That’s not what we as humans were given life for, after all.      Being able to take risks is necessary. Being able to step o...
