RE: The Sweet, But Fake Happy – manipulating young minds
I can feel your frustration in your writing and it brings back some memories of my youth when I felt like I was living in a country I didn't fit in.
At the time I was finding goals and identification through the many books I was reading all the time. With my earphones on and a book in my hands I was navigating the city to and from college thinking the world around me was clueless about the real values of life.
Truth is I felt lonely at the time, swimming around like a fish in a fishbowl and I couldn't wait to finish my studies to get out to new pastures and discover new cultures than my own which i didn't feel a part of.
There are other people like you out there who crave for more than just a stupid bowl of cereal and a like on some social network.
Every now and then our path crosses like minded persons and it brings meaning to our life. That knowledge that the world is not just made of materialism and quick gratifications is essential.
The world is your oyster if you manage to channel all that energy inside you to do something constructive with your life.
Your writing is inspiring and I have no doubt that there are still many people out there who want to be inspired by such honesty and different perception of the world around them.
Through your writing you are bringing a community of like minded people closer together.
As for me I have been struggling with naming my last piano piece but I think your post may have given me some inspiration.
Keep writing.
I suppose I'm lonely too, at times, but recently I've met some really....cool people. Very clever people, and I keep being surprised that they understand what I'm talking about, that we have the same points of reference and a lot of things in common. But then I realize that's how it should be.
I try to surround myself with people who get it...
Thank you so much, really, you're too sweet <3 What can I say, I just write what's on my mind.
Really? Wow, that is so awesome! Might I know what it is? I'd love to hear it.
Thank you :)
Many people who feel lonely in this world. In fact this "connected" world has never created so much isolation.
There was a time when most people knew their neighbours. In cities this is a rarity now.
One can feel when someone is genuine and your honesty shines through your writing.
I've got a title in mind but not 100% sure of it yet, so I'll wait before revealing it. :-)
The piece is almost finished. After that I have to practice it before recording which takes me a little bit of time as I'm quite an average player.
But I'll post the result on Steemit as soon as that's done!
I look forward to it! :)
