PostSecret bring me such joy. They are such a raw display of human emtion, they bring back that light, the hope that we aren't all just mindless robots who's sole task is greed. To take and take and destroy. I think this is why I love them so much. They bring me hope and they show humanity in the clearest, most brutal, honest beautiful light possible. There is so many colourfull fragements about them, each pertaining to a seperate individual. That is probably another reason why I love them so much. They speak to my ears and my secrets.
For those same reasons, I love music. This is such a cliché catch phrase for our generation, I feel that it is due deeper explination. I love real music, not the mindless crap spewed out about getting drunk and hot girls or stupid boys that seeps through every mundain radio station. I love Bon Iver because they have emotion, and what I can only describe as a soul that bleeds in all their songs and makes connections. With me at least. They are magical. Real musicians that love music and love connection and soul and make music not in sight of making money, but in view of creating something magical and following a gift that they have, that's the kind of music I love. It makes me feel, makes me cry and hope and dream. It's honest and true and really I think music is one of the best things that humanity has to offer the world. That and art, all art. Litterature, art, film and dance. All expression of humanity. That is what I love and what makes me believe that yeah, we've made a shit of everything but maybe there still is hope. Maybe we can stiff this magic into our daily lives and use it to accomplish something great.
