I don't kind of 'get' the world i live in.
It seems pretty arbitrary and absurd. Sort of made-up, like there are an infinite ways we could have evolved as a society, but here we are..
I don't care much for popular media, or papers, or the way of going about things.
I don't really like or care for celebrities or royals or so many other strangers that we are supposed to be weirdly invested in.
I don't live a conventional lifestyle - mortgage, etc.
I do accept and respect it all, and would not criticise, but online it seems that i am in a minority. I recall as early as 2005 the web wasn't like this, and there were so many artists and writers and thinkers out there, who now seem to have got lost in the froth.
I don't use social media but still manage to survive as an artist.
I can't relate to how commercialised so many things have become.
I pretty much loathe the tabloids and wonder why people take them seriously.
But am i alone?
I confess that i see deeply into things, although accept them in a fairly laid back way. I don't want to put down the stuff that doesn't resonate with me because that would be futile, ignorant, pointless.
But i live in a world of meaning, with books and music and art. I can't alter myself to fit in, really. I am perfectly 'normal' in the everyday sense and go about my life happily, but i notice that online, my particular view is unusual.
I would love to hear if anyone else feels this way!
