Do not stop thinking
of life as an adventure.
You have no security
unless you can live
bravely, excitingly, imaginatively;
unless you can choose a challenge
instead of competence.
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Some small thoughts, raw demos and new things I’ve worked on lately. Also, this is how I look and sound at 6am in the morning after a whole night of writing :)

“Trying to forget who we’re gonna be, when the alarm rings on Monday morning.”

“To get here

I ran down the escalator by myself

without looking up at that stupid window

from where people wave goodbye.


Today I believe in ghosts. Again.

I’ve found as much love for airports as I have for my myself.

And as much hate.”

“Addiction is tricky. For example: a man who quit smoking for 11 years spent 15 seconds in an elevator with a man smoking a cigarette. He gave in.

What I’m trying to say is I think I love you again.”

I love the smell of the universe in the morning.

“For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.”

Does the fear ever go away?

Some days, some weeks, months even. But entirely? no. You learn to live with it, and you learn to use it as fuel, as energy, as something great because what you should really be afraid of is the day you realise that you’re never afraid anymore. Because that day you have stopped. You’ve stopped growing, pushing yourself and you’ve fallen for comfort. So no, the fear doesn’t go away and you don’t want it to either. You want to learn how to make it your best friend.
