i came across this video the other day of indie artist Kawehi (and thought it was awesome), and it made me think about how amazing it is that different people’s brains can work so differently. to some people, music just makes sense… it flows naturally and is interpreted and synthesized natively. to others, it’s math. or design. or code. or writing.
or multiple things (that’s just not fair).
i think part of life’s journey is finding out what your natural strengths are and comparing that to where your natural interests lie, then deciding which path to pursue. for some, those paths are the same. for others, those paths are different. for many, those paths probably diverge and converge at various points in time. it’s important to reassess every so often, because over time you can discover or build strengths, strengths can languish, and your interests can change or evolve.
