Why We Tend to Try and Escape Reality.

Sometimes our lives are so scattered or busy that we tend to daydream and long to escape reality. Tatiana Santana Follow Dec 22, 2020 · 3 min read

Sometimes our lives are so scattered or busy that we tend to daydream and long to escape reality. Imagining and creating a life in our minds sometimes can be a good thing though it is kind of odd. Our minds are so puzzling and confusing sometimes, creating a strong desire to escape that we turn to our inner minds. The science of the mind is very complex but well understood. The mind is so complicated that most people do not understand some of the most basic concepts of the brain and its functions.

What does it mean to escape reality?

The American Psychology Association has a dictionary term for “escape from reality” it states that escaping from reality is “a defensive reaction involving the use of fantasy as a means of avoiding conflicts and problems of daily living.” sometimes escaping reality is not something that is initiated or thought out, sometimes our complex minds do this involuntarily. Why do we try to escape reality?

Some reasons we try to escape reality

This involuntary act can be caused by:

Trauma

An uneasy mind

A mental illness

Abuse

Stress

These are some of the reasons we try to escape our realities.
Apart from our perception of reality there is nothing else to fix in the world

Apart from our perception of reality there is nothing else to fix in the world Zsolt Hermann ·Dec 22, 2020

Question from the Internet:

“What cannot be fixed in this world?”

Expressing in a very radical way, there is nothing that needs fixing in this world, as everything is perfect.

We exist in an utterly perfect Natural system.

What needs fixing is our own perception of reality, which shows us an imperfect, crisis-ridden world, where everybody is exclusively, ruthlessly fighting one another for survival and we are all sinking desperately helplessly.

We are all born with an inherently egocentric, subjective, self-serving consciousness, perception which paints this dark, destructive, horror movie for us we consider our life.

By purposefully, methodically changing our perception, liberating ourselves from the inherently egocentric, subjective prisons we are locked in, we can come to sense reality objectively, as it is: in its total perfection.

The Solstice and The Equinox

The numbers ‘one’ and ‘two….’

Photo by Alasdair Elmes on Unsplash

We celebrate the solstice when light and dark are (farthest from equi-distant) at an extreme. We celebrate an equinox when light and dark are (closest to equi-distant) at an alternate kind of ‘extreme.’

That is dark and light represent the numbers ‘one’ and ‘two.’ Dark turns into light (zero turns into one) and then goes back to dark (one turns into zero), again (solstice turns into equinox and then goes back to solstice again).

Solstice

Light and Dark

The equinox and solstice, both, celebrate, the circular relationship between begin and end. That is, we begin a new year in January (at the beginning of January) and we begin a new season in March (in the middle of March).

Equinox

Beginning and End

We can notice, all of us, we are conceived, technically, nine months, ‘before’ we are born. The astronomical ‘distance’ between a solstice and an equinox (the number’s one and two).

Conception and Birth

That is, the earth is conceived and born as light turns from half to whole. Where, technically, from Nature’s point of view, there is no such thing as ‘half’ and ‘whole.’

Half and Whole

This introduces the ‘whole’ idea of ‘confusion’ (contradiction in general) into mathematics. The idea that one and two are half and whole (combined and separated).

One and Two

Half and Whole

This gives man’kind’ a whole lot of ‘explaining to do…’ Explaining the ‘art of explaining’ in general (search and discovery).

Search and Discovery

Which ‘explains’ the metaphors called ‘Jupiter’ and ‘Saturn’ (king and queen of Nature) (extreme optimism married to extreme pessimism).

Jupiter and Saturn

King and Queen (Optimist and Pessimist)

This explains why, and, also, how, the conservation of a circle, involves its ‘self’ in everything.

Conservation of a Circle

Meaning, and it’s impossible not to know this, every ‘one’ of us is duplicitous, in one way or an ‘other…’ Half-optimist. Half-pessimist. Explaining why we can only ‘get along with each other’ half-the-time. The other half? Well, you already know the answer to this.

Conservation of the Circle is the core (and, therefore, the only) dynamic in Nature.
I killed a butterfly.
By: Trenchcoats Are Hella Cool
Tags: Life, Memories, Reflections, Reality, Dreams

I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to catch it. I was alone, on a summer camp. Weeds swayed around me as I ran after the little white thing, it flutters it’s wings and I jump high, I bowed low, and I didn’t care. I was wearing a white light dress, I got quicker and quicker, closer and closer and with a smack. The butterfly laid, still, turning grey, with a blue hue. In my hand I held a dead butterfly. I pushed it off my hand and didn’t think further of it.

Sometimes reality comes close to dreaming, and in a second we make a mistake that brings us out of the trance.

I haven’t killed a butterfly since.

Storybook

Nearly every girl on the cusp of womanhood imagines herself to be special. Whether it’s a fairy bloodline, or a mortal gift that’s hers alone, her dreams are deceptions. For even if she medals gold or an Oscar bears her name, even if she meets someone wonderful to love and love her back, even then, all stories end same. One day, she’ll be forgotten, and then she will be dust. Stardust, perhaps, but dust being dust, the distinction doesn’t signify.
An Imaginary Paradise
By: Poetry Blocks
Tags: Peom, Reality, Poetry, Paradise, Dreams

A sky filled with stars as far as I can see

The wind brushing through the leaves, a whistle of a melody

An ocean rolling wave by wave to sandy ocean shores,

And a full moon rising up and up,

As the ocean waves mightily roar

-

All alone,

All is quiet,

As my breaths rise and fall,

And as I lay there still and steady,

A different wilderness calls

-

I close my eyes and am transported,

To a grassy endless meadow

I look around me staring in awe

The flowers blooming yellow

All is perfect all is still

And then I smell the daffodils

And so I close my eyes once more

And imagine something even more

-

All alone,

All is quiet,

As my breaths rise and fall,

And as I lay there still and steady,

A different wilderness calls

-

I am surrounded by trees

And the aroma of wood

Surrounded by vines

And sunlight lit woods

The grass is soft

And the air is sweet

And suddenly I feel complete

And so once more I close my eyes

And feel my breaths begin to rise

-

All alone,

All is quiet,

As my breaths rise and fall,

And as I lay there still and steady,

A different wilderness calls

-

Here I am,

In my room,

My alarm ringing loud,

And sometimes I look back and smile on those dreams that made me proud.

A paradise is anything, as long as I’m alone,

For when I’m feeling isolated I let my imagination roam.

Analysis

Through this poem, I wanted to illustrate how dreams were an escape from reality, and how the paradise of our minds and our reality remain forever separate. Dreams are an escape from the cruel world, as when we are asleep our imagination takes control and often roams around the mysterious world of fantasy. Whether it is a daydream or a nightmare, these aspirations allow us to escape from the stress and harshness of life, even if it is just for a few minutes.
Covid-19 Has Taught Us

Covid-19 Has Taught Us

Covid-19 has took a turn in our lives.

It hit a curve ball and put us in reality check. Maybe this had to happen as sign from god saying:

We have to value our love ones

Appreciate and cherish the things we have in life.

Have time for god

To leave all the bad things in life and move on.

To be more vulnerable

To be more kind

To be connected as a whole country and not segregated ourselves because we are different.

Be grateful with life

To change who we are as a person

Covid-19 isn’t a typical virus like the flu. It is a life learning lesson. I hope once this ends, we all have learned something.

This is reality and we have to face it and change it.

HOUSE HUNTERS TV SHOW

I love watching House Hunters (BUT)— — I enjoy seeing the architecture and style of all of the houses …. and when there is relationship drama, it’s just a great bonus, BUT

……but I did start to wonder about some aspects of the show, such as why so many of the smaller and international homes are being sold fully furnished. And although we all know that reality shows are fake, I was disappointed to read about just how plastic this show really is.

How To Write Social Media Content For Realtors?
By: Gavin Hidaji
Tags: Social Media Marketing, Reality, Real Estate

If you’re a realtor, investor, or frankly… any kind of real estate professional, you know finding compelling content for your social media can be tough.

Here’s the key…

There are a million real estate professionals trying to promote through social media. Your content needs to be unique to your brand. Instead of looking at what other professionals are doing and trying to copy, consider what you bring to the table that most other people can’t.

Do you sell homes quicker than average? Do you have an outstanding sense for what your local market looks like right now? Are you a killer salesperson?

Zero in on your specific value proposition… then promote the hell out of it.

Not too long ago, I had a client who was at a complete loss for what their Instagram captions should look like. They’d spent years doing what every other agent does… “This beautiful central bungalow features…blah blah blah.” Nothing was unique, and their results were less than stellar. Meanwhile, they were consistently getting homes under contract for their sellers in less than a week… during a global pandemic. They were wicked fast.

I asked them “Don’t you think someone looking to sell their home during COVID would like to hear about how quickly you’re able to land deals in this market?”

Their answer was, of course, yes and thus we found their unique angle. In less than two weeks they made their first property sale via social media. Within a month they had made two.

The point is… switch it up. Find an angle that resonates with your audience and sell it shamelessly. It’s not enough to have captions that sound good. They need to be unique.

Good luck!

Hiraeth: a Poem About a Home That Never Was
By: Faith Ridler
Tags: Poem, Reality, Poetry, Home

Longing for a home that never was.

The cold whispers to the warm, as a cool breeze comes across your face.

A life subject to your imagination.

The nostalgia sweeps you off your feet and makes you never want to return to reality.

It feels so real but fills you with sorrow once it’s gone.

The sun and it’s golden glow beaming on your face fills your heart with a warmth that only a mother’s hug can compare to.

The fields of assorted poppies brings hope to someone who was once lost in the abyss of reality.

The home that never was keeps you warm through the frost.

The cold blows over you.

You sleep easy.

But then, you are jolted and wake up disturbed.

Reality kicks you.

It creates your hiraeth and subjects you to the cold.

The sun doesn’t come out anymore, and your ears are filled with the sounds of busy streets full of people who are similar to you.

They have been awoken and are tortured by their hiraeth.

They have to endure their harsh reality.
when I was 7 years old, I dreamed of the day I would turn 16.
Tags: Depression, Life, Strength, Reality, Teens

when I was 7 years old, I dreamed of the day I would turn 16. I imagined the glam and the excitement and just pure joy. I imagined having tons of friends, living in a huge house with a stable family and a hot boyfriend. I was convinced it would be the happiest time of my life. I think it’s crazy how we always look further ahead into the future to imagine what the good days will look like, but we never realize when we are in the good days. being a 7 year old, i didn’t take advantage of the true good days. I always looked into the future. I turned 16 a couple months ago. if I could talk to my 7 year old self, i would tell her there is no glam about it. I would tell her there is no hot boyfriend or stable family, and there sure isn’t much happiness. but yet again, maybe I wouldn’t tell her that. I would want her to dream of being 16, it distracted her from the tough world and family life surrounding her. as I’ve grown older, I’ve become much more aware. Ive felt heartbreak, abandonment, guilt, sadness and fear. about a month ago I got anti depressants and anxiety medications for the first time. This week my mom scheduled me a meeting with a therapist and yesterday I talked to my dad for the first time in quite awhile. life isn’t easy as a teenage girl. I constantly compare myself to everyone around me. I look in the mirror and I hate what I see. I feel like a burden to everyone around me and the sad reality is that I’m not the only one who feels like this. my grades are not good, i have so many missing assignments, Im tired all the time and I feel like I’m gonna explode from all these horrible feelings inside of me. I scream and I cry nearly every night just hoping to feel some joy in my life. It’s heartbreaking being a 16 year old with the things I’ve experienced. 7 year old me would have never noticed her dad doing drugs or his girlfriend wanting to kill me. 7 year old me hadn’t experienced many family and pet losses. 7 year old me had never seen or heard abuse. 7 year old me had not gotten her heartbroken over a immature boy. 7 year old me didn’t have coaches telling her she wouldn’t amount to much. 7 year old me didn’t have friends turn their backs on her. 7 year old me didn’t have people telling her she wasn’t good enough and most importantly 7 year old me was not mentally ill. I never thought that when I was 16, I would cry every night into my pillow wishing I was 7 again. but part of me knows that this had to happen to shape me into the person I am today. I know that without every gut renching feeling I have felt, I would not be as strong or hard headed. heartbreak and loss creates character and strength. If ive made it 16 years through all of this bs, I can make it 16 more. Everyday feels like a battle against the world and even myself, but I know that 7 year old me, would still want me to push through. and even though it hurts, that’s exactly what I am going to do.
There lived a girl who always felt alone and afraid of monsters in the dark.

There lived a girl who always felt alone and afraid of monsters in the dark. She wanted to be surrounded by people. As she grew up her social circle became enlarged and she was finally surrounded by the people but she realised alone was the best time cuz people aren’t really what they show to the world deep inside they are the real monsters….
Getting closer to the true perception of reality
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Contrast, Viewpoints, Reality, Perception, Education

Question from the Internet:

“How do we know reality is real? How can we prove what reality is or isn’t by turning to math and science? Is it even possible or worthwhile trying to do this?”

We know that the reality we sense right now is not real.

The reality we see, sense, taste right now is a very limited and distorted package attained through egocentric, subjective filters, according to completely self-centered “pleasure/pain calculations”.

It is proven by psychological experiments and through the revelations of quantum physics.

We all live in a cosmic 3D movie we project for ourselves and the objects, events, people we encounter are “our own versions” of something, someones that might be around us.

Perception, a scientific examination is based on contrasts, comparative research.

Thus verifying a reality that is real we would need to develop a unique, unprecedented duality. Besides the inherently egocentric, subjective viewpoint we are born with, we would need to develop an independent, selfless, truly objective viewpoint, where we can observe reality and ourselves “fros the sides”, or as if from a “drone view”, “from above”.

And while at first, it seems like sci-fi, we can actually develop such a new viewpoint and the above-mentioned duality through a unique, purposeful, and highly practical educational method. With this method, we can develop that new, selfless, truly objective viewpoint through the desires, thoughts, and viewpoints of other people in specifically organized, conducted, purposeful, closed environments.

Then against the original, egocentric, and subjective viewpoint which does not disappear but remains serving as a background, we can tangibly, realistically verify, justify the actual, perfect and truthful picture of reality.

Should I Stay at the Worst Hotel in Phoenix?
By: Michael Butorovich
Tags: Travel, Reality, Writers Life, Arizona, Phoenix

I once lived with roaches in the Hotel Cabrillo, a studio joint back in the harbor. I’m looking at a kitchen position on the north side and if I can relocate to another spot that’s closer to my potential employer we’d be in business. That’s how I discovered HomeTowne Studios and all the nasty reviews about roaches, filth and ran down units.

That’s one of the 16 reviews mentioning roaches. Other grievances are towards management, drug traffic, the surrounding homeless, and over-all dilapidation of interiors. Apparently the maids don’t even give a thorough clean by leaving trash behind and maintenance leaves plungers in the sink. Evictions are also very common.

Here are a couple of actual reviews for true sizing.

While nearly all the guest who checked-in had some kind of very major complaint there’s Pams Funrubs’ with her contrasting experience

Ashley Sutton was pleased as well, but it doesn’t mean much when the rest of the crowd is screaming HORRID!!!!

There’s also a live-in option I’d be skeptical on taking. Even a night here seems like a gamble. It would make for an interesting piece should I decide to walk with risk. If I do land the cook job (which is going to kick the shit out of me) this property would be my absolute last resort for long term lodging.

You can take a gander of this run down ass location here

Thanks for keeping up with the saga y’all!! Much love,

THE GRAPHICS OF REALITY
By: Prajwal Kr
Tags: Life, Real, Quarantine, Reality, Dreams

Boxed up in my bed and going through another of those sleepless quarantined nights, I asked myself strange and newer questions, those kinda questions I’d never ask myself in a million years and I was left hanging by this one intriguing thought. What is reality?

The next morning was very odd, the thought had survived from last night and was eating crumbs of my brain, so I dumped my routine and put my research hat on to visit the all-knowing yogi of knowledge “google-baba”. Like any human, I could scroll through only a few from the 1,51,00,00,000 results. After a lot of reading my mouse pointer froze when one website described reality to be the opposite of anything imaginary, I left that website more confused than convinced. I slithered across multiple books only to understand that the conflict between reality and imagination imitates a board of chess, the difference being both the moves of black and white pawns are played by a single hand. The battle of whether something is real or imaginary is played between your ears, you could let any side of it win.

What I mean is, it’s all a part of what you believe in. The graphics of reality around you is the outcome of what your mind makes of it.

If you believe it to be true then it automatically becomes real to you like the cars you see which are real. Now consider this, Charlie Chaplin’s body after his death was stolen and held up for ransom. Would you believe it’s true? Or is it too absurd to be real? Now your brain runs the conflict of whether it could be real or something made up! The initial sense of anything to be real or unreal lies in the person’s belief.

But is everything that we see and truly believe to be real, actually real? My curiosity to tackle last night’s thought pulled me into a black hole of more and more questions and here’s where it led me to, Albert Einstein Quotes “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”. The irony is reality isn’t very real, it’s all programmed in our minds. The brain is master class at converting what we perceive into a simulation, a simulation so concert that it becomes our reality. Similar to constructing a building our brains lay multiple layers of information around us to make a valid sense of the environment. If there was something you couldn’t make sense of it would land up being unreal or fake. Ever seen those magic acts on fancy stages? A man dressed in a fine suite with some dancing assistants can make an elephant disappear into thin air with a live audience witnessing it. But that wouldn’t be real magic as at the back of your head you know there’s a dirty trick to it. Ultimately, our minds try to find a sense of how things happen, and when that sense is found it becomes real enough. Hence, the reality of reality is that it’s just a clever sensible simulation.

So, what is reality?

It’s the very illusion of life we live in.
She believe in infinity, while he has faith in love
Tags: Writing, Hope, Reality, Poetry, Love

They say, universe plays around in mysterious ways,

While she was getting out,

He was going through the same phase.

They didn’t notice but it started it with a ‘Hi’,

They couldn’t see it when they shared that smile,

They loved the fact that they were friends,

They wanted a relation but with no loose ends.

Neither was she desperate for love, nor was he depressed,

When they expected it the least,

They got the best.

So they kept it the way it was,

Feelings were growing,

Maybe it was beginning of new chaos.

But, above all, love happened,

And so they accepted each other with their flaws.

Today,

She believe in infinity, while he has faith in love,

And so they stared out the window, to see the stars above

A lot of dreams were shared, lot of promises were made,

They had finally got the love, for which they’ve always craved.

First Steps to Publishing on Medium Daily
By: Ovedje Rory
Tags: Creative, First Post, Fearless

I’ve decided it’s a good idea to blog daily whether or not anybody reads it or finds it interesting.

I want to be a better writer.

Well, I didn’t totally figure it out on my own, I finally came around to following Seth Godin’s advice.

“Blog daily, even if nobody reads it.” –Seth Godin

Immediately, I made this goal “Public” on my bio, I panicked and thought of all that could possibly go wrong and what if I end up not publishing daily.

I’m no guru, but here’s what I’ve set in place to get this working:

I took a screenshot of my “BIG ANNOUNCEMENT” here and made it my wallpaper . Yes, that’s the cover image above. That way, I won’t forget my goal.

. Yes, that’s the cover image above. That way, I won’t forget my goal. I started writing this post. Yes. The goal is to write and publish, not write something perfect.

I’m done for today.

Buffalo, New York. April 7th, 2020. Photo by Lucas Schleicher.

The sun is there before we

look away.

We know because the leaves are green

or because, in a bald branch, a cardinal

ricochets red

and shocks the tree to wave

in the crowded

chime-bright air.

Try hard not to think about the cardinal

or the chimes,

about before or after.

We have all heard voices through closed

doors or been surprised

by sudden views.

Times are places

and places can be anticipated.

Once, for example,

when walking through Paris,

a church opened off

an alleyway and inside

mirrors hung from

its ceiling.

The city was suspended in its domes,

spinning in the evening glow.

The water fountains

and Bouquinistes turned in place

to the flash of footfalls and gawkers,

and this unexpected parade

drew the quatrième around itself

like a mantle.

Saint Somewhere, phenomenal king

beside the island, nameable and loquacious.

I mean transpiring for the first time, without

a half way:

gravity, the stars, electromagnetism,

an enormous smile

and eyes that stare

into alien accidents at night.

Together, we draw the steps of the sleep

dance and each pivot is new.

There isn’t a pass between here and there

like there is in the mountains

or on the highway

between the valley

and the shore.

Instead, it is all at once

and history changes with you

for all of history.

Something like the sun,

there from eternity.

I open my eyes to it and call

each opening a new day,

but this is wrong.

It is my waking that is born each time.

Lightning, lighting, lightening,

arrived by revelation.

The Vintage Book Light. To Delight In Small moments

To Delight In Small Things

Lulu Photo

One Christmas when I was a child, my mother gave me a charming clip-on book light. As a voracious reader, the little lamp allowed me to read at night without putting on the bedside table lamp. With a 150 watt bulb it could guide planes in from JFK. The book light gave me a bright, but directed light, it was perfect.

The lamp was all metal, with a jaunty shade that resembled a helmet. It was adjustable to turn in all directions, putting the light where I needed it. It was a perfect light for reading without illuminating the whole room. I loved it.

In my late teens, my lifestyle changed, so I read less at night, and in time, misplaced the light and the memory.

Recently, I picked up my love of reading and writing while in bed. It was time to find a book light, but all the interviewed styles emitted an unpleasant blue halogen light which was a bit irritating. Thinking back, I remembered my little clip light and the way it cast a soft yellow glow across the page.

I searched for it on eBay and other similar sites but couldn’t find anything like it. Undaunted, it now became a quest.

Then, a few months ago, I remembered my childhood light had a shade resembling a helmet. I Googled it.

Bingo! It popped up on a page with many like it available on eBay. Later I found a few on Esty

I let out a joyful yell.

Here it is! I can’t tell you how happy I am with this little book light. It’s perfect — Twenty-five watts of golden light. Every time I pick it up to attach it to my book or writing clipboard, I smile. It has a personality.

Let me know if there is something you delight in. A small something that makes you happy every time you see it or use it.

Sometimes it’s the little things that delight us.

Thanks for stopping by,

I was wet

You were wet too

We were into each other

Our every part of body was wet

you visiting every part of mine slowly salivating it

We were enjoying like we never had enjoyed before

Sometimes you came over me

sometimes I.

We were deep, Oh…

you holding mine

I holding yours

It was an unforgettable pleasure

I was a turtle

You were a fish

We both swam together

measuring the depth of oceans

and it was a bliss.

Although this series of vivid artworks looks very concise , it is full of deep emotions . Minimalism is not the purpose of artistic creation , but to filter out redundant interference in works through minimalism , so that the “ gradual gray “ between subject and object emerges . Let people feel the existence of “ air “ in the works . The “ air “ here can be understood as : artistic conception , atmosphere , etc .

Emma Gannon gives us her top 3 as Ctrl Alt Delete hits 300th episode milestone
By: Acast, For The Stories.
Tags: Creativity, Writing, Creative, Podcast, Audio

Ctrl Alt Delete, the award-winning podcast from the inimitable author and novelist Emma Gannon, has just published its 300th episode.

Described by WIRED magazine as “funny and honest”, and ranked as one of the Sunday Times’ 50 best podcasts, Ctrl Alt Delete — which is part of the Acast Creator Network — is not a traditional career podcast.

Each episode, Emma and her guest start by talking about work, and end up wherever the conversation leads. What does it mean to be a modern philosopher? How is Big Tech affecting us? How do you combine activism with being the editor of a magazine? Ctrl Alt Delete is a gateway into new ideas.

And so, to mark her milestone achievement, we’ll hand over to Emma to tell us all about her top three Ctrl Alt Delete episodes so far.

1. Seth Godin

I know you’re not supposed to have ‘heroes’ because they will always disappoint you, but Seth Godin continues to be a huge inspiration to me and someone who moves through the world with such integrity. My (two) episodes with him on the podcast definitely did not disappoint and are the episodes people seem to remember the most! Seth’s new book The Practice came out this year and it’s an understatement to say it really helped me through some feelings of zero motivation when it came to work. His book and this interview got me right back on my feet — so the episode with Seth feels moving, for that reason. I got to say thank you, and share his uplifting ideas with all my listeners. I definitely recommend a listen.

2. June Sarpong

I interviewed June back in 2017 (if you’re reading this June, please come on again for a refresher episode soon!) and we chatted backstage at Stylist Live. I’m a huge fan of June’s work, and her books Diversify and The Power of Privilege are must-reads for absolutely everyone. In my episode with June, we spoke about diversifying your life — not just your Twitter feed but your IRL life, too — how we should get comfortable with being uncomfortable, have conversations with people who think differently to us, how it’s not always the answer to immediately ‘cancel’ someone, and step out of our bubbles if they only consist of like-minded people. Even though this episode is a few years old, I think her message is becoming more and more urgent.

3. Jacqueline Wilson

It’s become a bit of a joke now that I “manifested” Jacqueline Wilson as a guest on my show because I wouldn’t stop talking about how much I’d love to interview her. Whenever anyone asked me who my dream guest would be, I would say Dame Jacqueline every time (and Oprah. Obviously.) I absolutely inhaled all of Jacqueline Wilson’s books as a kid and teenager, and her work has had a huge influence on me, as a reader and now as a writer and author myself. My eyes popped out of my head when she mentioned, right at the end of the interview, that she had read my debut novel! I had no idea. It was a huge moment getting to meet her in person, an experience I will never forget.

Kanye West: King of the Sample
By: Ben Broyd
Tags: Creative, Music, Kanye West, Rap, Sample

Kanye West is a highly controversial figure, but at the same time, highly intellectual. Regardless of what you think of him, there is no denying his creativity, whilst his ability to sample a song from any given era and turn it into a worldwide phenomenon is nothing short of incredible.

In terms of his sensational sampling, we first look at his debut album ‘College Dropout’, the album that announced Kanye West as an artist to the world. It was the introduction to Kanye’s method of merging tiny sections of niche songs and turning them into art. ‘Jesus Walks’ a prime example of this, Kanye sampled ‘Walk With Me’ by The ARC Choir, and ‘Ode to Billie Joe’ by Lou Donaldson, and the rest is history. However, as per the title, it was also our introduction to Kanye’s overinflated ego.

‘College Dropout’ also featured another moment of genius in the form of his single: ‘Through The Wire’. In this instance, he sampled Chaka Khan’s ‘Through the Fire’, and Outkast’s ‘Player’s Ball’. To provide some context as to why this was so clever, just after signing his first record deal, Kanye was in a life-threatening car crash that left his jaw wired shut and his face needing surgery. Rather than letting this get him down, his response? Use Chaka Khan’s ‘Through the Fire’ and turn it into ‘Through the Wire’ rapping through a wired shut mouth. Incredible.

As for his single ‘Diamonds From Sierra Leone’, he sampled the iconic James Bond track by Shirley Bassey ‘Diamonds Are Forever’. In extraordinary Kanye fashion, the Chicago born rapper didn’t actually know Sierra Leone was a country when he produced this single.

Perhaps one of his most famous ‘mainstream’ songs, we look to ‘Stronger’ sampled from Daft Punk’s ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’. His album ‘Graduation’ was a strange electronic phase, but there is no denying this is one of his most famous songs ever. During the production of ‘Stronger’, Kanye was fed up with the drums in the original after spending ages working around them in production. Rather hilariously, A-Trak played the acapella version one day in the studio, and Kanye said fuming: “You mean to tell me there was a fucking acapella this whole time.”

When it comes to Kanye’s single ‘Heartless’, it was sampled from ‘Ammonia Avenue’ by The Alan Parsons Project. The beat was initially made for Jay-Z, but Ye heard it and said he was keeping it for himself. When his producer exclaimed that he wasn’t even working on an album, Kanye replied: “I am now.”

It’s important to remember that this isn’t all Kanye, by any means. He’s had an unbelievable amount of assistance from Mike Dean and No I.D amongst others. But as for Kanye West anecdotes, and Kanye West sampling, there are so many stories to tell, and you can’t take away Kanye West’s influence around this style of music. He is one of those people where you find it nearly impossible to look away from because whatever he does next is going to be entertaining. A self-proclaimed creative genius, although many happen to agree.

There comes a time in one’s life when you are known, seen and referred to as an ‘adult adult’. You know, that period where you should really be relying on your own skills and knowledge to get through everyday life. Basic hygiene, keeping a home in decent order, organising life and yes cooking well. Nine times out of ten, not only do you have a partner but a little person or a few little people even, all of whom may rely on you to feed them a decent meal.

It seemed easy when your mom did it. She made everything look and taste gourmet. No one’s asking for Michelin starred dishes but here are a few you should most definitely have got the hang of by now…

A simplistic, sadistic, artistic massacre

a car crash on paper

ejected the passenger

spilling of colors all over the sheet

how will I make sure this one is a feat?

smudge it or roll it

might have to go with deceit

that I know what I’m doing

my pencils, supplies

I’m armed to the teeth
The benefits of being a nobody.. When you are a child, you can have big…
By: Rich Horton
Tags: Writing, Famous, Creative, Working, Dreams

When you are a child, you can have big dreams. I first wanted to become a professional soccer player and then a rock star when I hit my teen years. These were small and very attainable goals when you are young enough not to know any better.

I thought it would be cool to be famous for some reason. You never see the work behind the scenes, however, making it look easier than it is. It seems like people are making stuff up as they go along, but it’s all scripted and meticulously planned out.

You have to be a particular type of person to push yourself to a level of familiarity and to gain fame. There are probably cases of people just wanting to be creative and not be famous, and then it just happens,

Today, there are so many levels of famous, and it’s almost mind-blowing. There was reality tv, and then the internet caused people to go viral. There are the usual megastars and actors in many things, sometimes just because of one significant role.

In the last four years, politicians and government workers go from unknown in under twenty seconds because of a presidential tweet or something excellent or crazy they did. James Comey, the former FBI director, is writing a book. These are people who were doing their jobs and then got embroiled in a scandal.

Looking back, I now realize that it’s probably okay. I never became a famous person. It’s probably way more challenging than it seems and a hassle for most people. I am also becoming okay with who I am. I often obsess about my past and think about how things could have been different. I am what I am, like Popeye.

I don’t want to be a character on the internet or the male equivalent of a Karen. However, I would have liked to write one hit song or a fantastic novel where I could live off the proceeds and stay under the radar to create what I would like.

I also am envious of people who want to work their job, be good at it, and live a steady life: no fantasy life, no lottery dreams, or need for admiration. They are just happy about what life has given them and can do it one day at a time.

I am a worker bee, to make money and provide for my family. I dream of making money off of something I created. I am more realistic on the financial side that I can’t just sink money into creative projects and hope for the best. I write songs, am working on a novel, have other career aspirations, and write this article, hoping people will read it. No one is a nobody. We all live in a different view of how we should live our life.

Sun’s up, another day

Awakened slowly, feeling okay

Stuck inside, quarantine haze

Endless year, COVID days

Check Instagram, usual start

View photos, tap hearts

Post today, guess so

Recycle photo, they’ll know

Family asleep, house quiet

Eating poorly, comfort diet

Body aches, now supersized

Clothes tight, should exercise

Chair instead, computer glare

Flashing cursor, blank stare

Creative atrophy, settling within

Going nowhere, staying in

Kids awake, devices shine

Downtime off, Tik Tok time

TV sleeping, avoiding clues

Death toll, vaccine news

Wife disappointed, I’m disengaged

Same reality, different page

Half day gone, my chores ignored

Sunday full, busy being bored

Thank you for reading my first piece. I look forward to sharing more poetry and stories here. If you enjoy photography as well, you can view my portfolio of street, architecture, and abstract photography on my website and follow my photographic journey on Instagram.
Rising From the Ashes but Not The Phoenix
Tags: Personal Growth, Gen Z, Creative, Blog

For the past year I've gone through a transformation of feelings, mindsets, spiritual places and perspectives. Documenting my findings & crystallizing my philosophic statements just because I can, and maybe someone will care to read what I've typed and consider the concepts and ideas inside and hopefully apply what they can. Aware that the internet is a place where value comparison occurs, I have no aspirations to aquire thousands of followers or obtain any business from this, just to simply share what is on my specific brain~one soul of trillions to live throughout history.

I've come into the truth of the Bible about a year ago, and "come into the truth of the Bible" is about the only phrase I can use right now, because I'm not sure where I stand with theology and doctrine. I'm aware that other books exist outside the Protestant and Catholic Bible's, but I get caught up in all the historical origins and get doubtful. Most of the English Bible's go back to the Latin translations to the Greek to the Arabic and and Hebrew, but thats a ton of translators translating with different cultures backgrounds, intentions and motives that, when compared, can come off confusing as to which translation is correct. Through this entire general summation of analysis I realize one must go as far back as possible to the original primary source and build from there. I've also learned that while assistance is needed on this journey, I don't need a designated pastor or elder to go to for knowledge-- if God wants me to know, He will show me, and it's just that simple. I always questions and doubt that I'd get into the kingdom simply because I realize my futility as a mere human being, but I don't know, December 21st is two days away so I might be awakened to something.
