Why do we make it so complicated? Our desire to make things easy and to regulate everything as we want it, makes life so difficult. We set up standards that we can't maintain and we make rules that we don't follow. Argh, I just wanna throw my life away and become... a musician! Easy to say after a glass (or bottle?) of red wine, being 25 (or...?) and on the edge of change. What makes me stay up late, thinking, wondering, philosophing about the important questions of life? Really, the simple questions come to you at daylight times, such as: "will I be quicker cycling with flatulence?" But only when the world seems to be asleep, my mind wakes up.
alright, at this point, please grab a drink and then continue reading. It won't get any better.
(This is not about trivializing alcohol. It's about not taking myself too seriously.)
The greatest thought you can ever have -as a never really grown up, insecure, natural being- is that you're very very normal. I always thought noone could have the same problems, feelings and such as I do. I thought I need to write a blog and let people know about this strange world that is my reality. But the truth, and this is the very true thruth, is that I'm not alone. My real problem was my inability to accept that I'm one of a billion, not worth more or less than anyone else. I always wanted to be special, and I am, no doubt, but in a totally different way than I expected. I am not different in colour, soul or dreams, but in my decisions. I know some of them are fake ones, like deciding between the products of a supermarket, since someone decided for me what to choose frome. But some choice, even just having them, means freedom to me. And nowadays (I know this sounds totally 80s!), in the world of globalisation and capitalism, freedom is the last difference we have.

I'm sure all the musicians on the planet will love you for that line, myself included. ;)

"will I be quicker cycling with flatulence?"
Probably, although I wonder if anyone has ever successfully tested that one out.

On to more serious thoughts.
I've always wondered why people had this strive to deviate from the norm, to be special instead of being normal?
Is it because the media, their upbringing and whatnot told them to think along those lines?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with being normal, simply because being normal does not negate being special.
All the normal people I know are special; it's the special people who simply don't have any normality to show for themselves ... and I know some of those.
I've traveled quite a bit in my time and the most interesting and most fascinating people I met were "normal". The others were, exceptions prove the rule, "boring".
Character is substance, everything else is superfluous.

"Freedom" is what you make it, and it's certainly not "80s". To deviate from the norm, to allow yourself to be yourself is "freedom", no more and certainly no less.

And, btw, I would never trivialize alcohol.
Never.
There's simply too much good stuff out there to be had.
:)
Carpe diem.
