learning balance. farewell 2016. ⚫️⚪️

This year 2016 was one of helluva 365 days and we’ve all had our share of crazy moments. But like all other years we ripped off the calendar, this one taught us all a lot about the universe and ourselves.

I released Consonance / Dissonance during the first half of this year after realizing how importance balance is in one’s life. After spending the previous year exploring the emptier and darker paths of life and the time before that exploring lighter paths, I came to understand how we are not linear beings.

The EP’s I made after that were two representations of different transitions, MUGEN is about changing and Vacant is about being still.

We are not always good and we are not always bad, we are sometimes both and we are sometimes none of either. We are paradoxes of our own selves. And I guess, it’s finding balance between both that really gives us peace of mind as we find our way through this life. As we try to find purpose or essence.

My beautiful and intelligent partner, Femme and I talked about physics and geometry a lot and as we discover more and more things about the mechanisms of the universe, we realize that each particle, each line, every element exists for a function that somehow balances the scales of the universe. One measure less or more could mean a change of what is natural but if we look at the bigger picture, maybe change is part of a bigger picture and sometimes it’s just really hard to see that when we spend all our time focusing on ourselves. But, yeah, I must admit not looking at ourselves is hard.

And I guess, what I’m trying to say here is, life’s a struggle but struggling doesn’t mean it’s miserable.

Rain comes to ruin a fine sunny day but everything looks brighter after it since light will reflect on wet leaves and show better colors.

I’ve come to accept these things and decided to keep pushing for the things I believe. But this time, I’ll enjoy life more. I know uncertainty’s a drag but no matter how much we know, we’ll never know enough. That doesn’t mean we should stop trying though.

and as always, my blog post has no structure at all. oh well.

So yeah, goodbye 2016. I hope I get to apply these things this 2017.

For now, #wewillsleep 🌌🌌🌌
