Via Voyage

 The most naïve someone can be, is assuming another is naïve. And the smartest (and perhaps cruelest) one can be, is taking advantage of blindness. It only becomes cruel when done for the wrong cause. Of course all causes seem wrong at a time and place, but I believe as long as it is for the best in most perspectives it can be deemed as right. I strongly believe anything can be a blessing or strength if perceived and dealt with as such. Death can be freedom and hope if seen as the only consistent element of life. Rejection could act as redirection if we choose to view it and act upon it as such. Among these paradoxes lies a fascinating, perhaps even revolutionary topic. A topic I often found myself complaining about until I decided to shift my point of view. I must state that there is no correct point of view, not even morally. Even murder could be deemed correct if looked at differently; but we are human, we can choose. It is only rational to choose what benefits us and our values...

  After almost 3 years of wishing I had a Youtube channel and consistent day dreaming, I finally started one! The name of my channel is Via Vue and in it, I shall document the course of my growth and life overall. It took a LONG time to edit and upload the first video and after finishing the editor I was using didn't let me export it and only allowed 1 minute of it for free! I WAS DEVASTATED! I tried everything and it took a lot of time and patience for the video to come through. After all that, I had to make the thumbnail and everything which itself was a long process as well but not nearly as hard as the editing. Despite all the challenges though I'm proud to finally call myself a content creator / youtuber. I have vowed to continue because not gonna lie, it was really fun to make the video! I watched the video and unfortunately, some parts came out lagged and the video overall has a low quality but it's better than nothing and I am very proud of finally uploading my firs...

 Today, I was lucky enough to go to a play. I had heard it was beautiful, but MY GOD, it was absolutely wonderful. I was truly thrilled and captivated by everything from the story to the acting and down to the lighting and music. Is it an exaggeration? Maybe, but I truly thought it was wonderful.  Thrill and Excitement One of the key components of this play was none other than 'thrill'. In the midst of the play, I found myself completely immersed in the story, getting goosebumps often and watching intently as each scene took place, and continued to take my breath away. The play displays a paradoxical view of reality and  how humans tend to play with the fair line between what we deem or  wish  for reality to be and the harsh truth while  delivering many hidden and heartfelt messages. The story would leave you clues throughout the entire play but keep you starved for an answer. In the end, rather than having an ending, it had an exit; almost as if it kicked ...

 A Blank Page, A Decision, 10 Fingers Here I stand, impulsively starting a blog at midnight after dreaming of one for years. The only force that can stop me, is me.  It's an interesting paradox: the mind is the bridge to achieving one's dreams, yet it is powerful enough to keep you from moving even if you desire to do so. My mind was strong enough to make this decision and while apparently "that's all it takes", I can still stop typing. See? I stopped typing for 5 minutes and now I'm back. Is a mere decision powerful enough to secure an opportunity? This (first blank) page, represents the opportunity. I made the decision to write my first post despite the lack of beforehand planning and preparation and I must say, I was quite proud. However, all of that would be pointless if I didn't get my 10 fingers working to write whatever this is. We've all heard of how important putting in the work is, and as a perfectionist I often find myself asking why. I unde...
