Miss U

I've been trying to get back to writing more impactful meaningful insightful personal in-depth posts... because you know, after doing something for a while, sometimes there's this feeling of being worn out in a weird way.

Don't get me wrong, there hasn't been a day in the past 3 years where the feeling of utter love towards music in any form and shape (writing, listening, even trying to play) has even remotely faded. But it is weird. That and the confusion of how personal you could actually be which is definitely somehow growing with time.

But today, after listening this amazing podcast below (which is the main and only reason why this post was created), I felt this huge urge of just put my headphones on and write. That podcast has so much truth about life, whether you care about music or Shigeto's art in general... well, if you're here probably you liked the track so disregard that. Nonetheless, these 35 minutes are go way beyond music and the lessons or experiences shared, could be applied in so many situations of life... it's ridiculous.

Turning 29 later this year, I was quite amused of the fact that after so many years of adventures and stories and travels and ups/downs and realizations, a half an hour podcast would make me feel in this kind of strange new way. Almost eye-opening, although a lot of things are trivial, a story of someone who has achieved something truly impressive. But yeah, it did. Listening to Shigeto opening up on so many topics, which I imagine is not easy to do, made me want to write this.

I can't even put into words a lot of the things which passed through my mind. Probably I shouldn't. The one thing I would like to do is to use this platform as an opportunity to suggest you (whoever reads this) to listen to those 35 minutes and reflect on them based on your views and beliefs. And if you all of this a giant bullcrap, it's fine as well. People are different and we will never, ever all agree or enjoy same things.

There are few moments which rly kinda stuck in my brain. Many of them made me think and miss my parents and frs across the world, but hey it's life. In the end...

...life is short, you do what makes you happy. You never know what's gonna happen. You never know what that next step is.

"What are you supposed to do?" it hasn't been a day lately I haven't asked myself that question, so listening to this made me somehow relax that things will somehow work out.

...you only job is to be happy. To be a good person. To find what makes me happy. To make other people happy.

The path to one's happiness is seriously unique travel and hopefully we all get there, one way or another.

Reaching those 2000 posts, a year and a half after those 1000, I can't say how things have changed or what has been learnt. I just wish to myself in another 1000 posts, to be able to experience the same thrill of emotions like those which happened after listening to that podcast.

Music is a language and people have all different accents and speak differently, but it doesn't mean they can't speak and it's like I realized how to embrace the human side of my musicianship and the emotional side, not the technical side. Musicality, creativity, inspiration is so much deeper in what college you want to or what degree you have.

This last quote made me remember that in the end of the day, Stereofox is, have been and always will be about our human side. All of us on this wonderful team.

Thank you for reading this, wherever you happen to be right now. Hope these sounds or words or song moved you at least a little bit. I'm gonna leave my fav Shigeto song from his No Better Time Than Now record below. Enjoy!

disclaimer: the post was written while listening to the podcast, it hasn't been edited, it may sound chaotic, but i wouldn't change a thing
