The Unknown
People throughout the ages have explored the unknown one way or another. Some have explored the unknown by traveling to new foreign lands, like the first character in Frankenstein, writing to his sister of his travels and his expedition to the Arctic Circle. Others have explored the unknown simply by trying new foods, traveling down a back road they have until then avoided, or maybe even just breaking away from their daily routines. And there are some like me, who use music to express their individualism and have in the past experimented, tried, failed, and succeeded in triumphantly exploring the unknown borders of music and sound that no one else had tread. I think that people choose to devote themselves to going where others haven't gone before for the same reason I play my music. They do this to discover, or even create something new and uncommon that they can call their own; they do this to show the world that there are still beautiful things yet to be stumbled upon, and to bring new hope to those who think they have experienced this world to it's fullest but haven't yet begun to live. Although it is a noble effort, to want to change people's perspective of this world, a success of that caliber doesn't come easy. To truly make a change, it takes dedication, commitment, diligence, and huge sacrifices of time and sometimes even sleep. To explore the unknown is an enormously daunting task for one reason, because it is unknown; because a person can never know for sure what they might find or what they might lose, only that in order to truly succeed, they must hope for the best and expect the very worst.
"A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown."Denis Waitley
