Inspiration through fear
I just watched the Urethra chronicles, blink 182’s dvd and it was awesome, but do you ever watch videos of musicians and people who have created brands and products and do you feel like you are losing in life? These people live great happy lives doing what they want to do, and I feel like blink 182 are a great example because the videos portray them doing loads of dumb shit and messing around but if you look behind that they have worked so hard to get where they are today.
Deserving
I think one of my actual pet peeves is overnight success stories, it really bugs me seeing things like “He only learned how to sing last thursday and now he’s number one on iTunes” or like “I actually made this product as a joke 2 weeks ago and out of nowhere everyone loved it and it got massive” I feel like the media and people shouldn’t lap up these stories as much as the world does or at least as much as the media thinks we do. I love nothing more than seeing a story or video about how someone has worked so hard and has got somewhere.
Its weird because it now feels like I’m talking down, but obviously I am in that group of people just trying to work hard. I’m at uni now and I am really loving my course, so far all my projects have had a big thumbs up and a grin from my tutors, and I have spent a lot of time on some of them because right now in my life I feel like I need to go the extra mile, why shouldn’t I? Its my life I may as well, thats what I keep thinking.
I still love the idea of clothing and branding and I still well and truly love make out kids clothing, I have worked my ass over the summer on it and currently have hundreds of new designs packed up and ready to be sold right by me. But I want everything to be absolutely perfect first, so I am doing everything longwinded and right
But anyway yeah, back to my original point, these videos make me worry. They depict these amazing fun lives, and I’m not saying I don’t absolutely love my life because I most certainly do, I just don’t want to just hang on to memories I want to make so many more for ever and ever. So laziness is over. Keep telling myself that. Laziness is over.
Wow essay. It’s nice to write
