Daily darkness you deal with while acting normal. something like that.

Hi, have a look at this image before you read on. Take a moment to think about what it makes you feel and what it makes you think of.

Last night I spent two hours smaking a youtube thumbnail image. Nothing felt right.

All the images looked great, but they didn’t quite capture my exact idea.

Then I remembered the image I’ve been carrying in my head for weeks because it really got to me: a girl running through the thick fog towards a glowing McDonald’s. It’s apparently a meme made by fans.

Over the weeks, a bunch of possible meanings crossed my mind. But since I was planning to use it, I decided to check the meaning online, and that's when I realised I was overthinking the whole thing.

Originally, it was built on absurdity for a quick laugh. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong or missing something.

To me, it shows a girl’s everyday life where even a simple walk to McDonald’s feels unsafe and a bit creepy. At the same time, when life feels totally hopeless, she just ignores it, keeps going, and accepts the darkness anyway. There’s a lot more to it that I’ve been thinking about in sleepless nights. I reckon the reason is because it’s relatable and really captures what’s on our minds — stuff we don’t usually say out loud.

Stuff that’s not just girls’ problems, guys deal with it too. For a lack of a better word, I’d call it silent despair — modern despair, a bit of darkness that hangs around us every day while we act like it’s not even there.

I found it really relatable. It hits a perfect balance between darkness and everyday life. Loads of people reckon I’m too serious. But I’m just accepting the world for what it is. I make dark music, but that doesn’t mean we have to act like we’re stuck in some dark drama all the time. 

So this image kind of captures the vibe I'm going for,I'd say about 70%. 

I guess my own message here is that it’s not all black and white, it’s all shades of grey we’ve got going on. I kinda feel like we all look at each other and assume we know what’s going on with people, but in reality, we don’t have a clue. It’s some sort of mental mechanism to avoid getting overwhelmed, and I’d rather not think about someone at all than assume some oversimplified black and white version of the real truth behind those eyes I’m looking into.

There's loads more I could say, but I need to get on with something right now. Also, I thought I'd let this post kick off a good chat. Drop me a message somewhere on socials or tell your mate. I reckon this stuff's worth a proper discussion.
