maybe everything has been done before. every emotion felt, evert hurt cried, every question asked, every song inspired. that rhymes.

I don't reckon. Or at least not all of them. Emotions are different, because I don't think emotions need to be original to be valuable. Being hurt isn't about being original either. Hurt just is. I think I take comfort in the thought that however bad and alone I'm feeling, there are people out there who've felt similar things. People much more interesting and good than me, who've felt much more alone.

I don't think every question has been asked. Or even if they have, we only have answers to a tiny number of them. And the answers we already keep getting better anyway, so there's definitely value in trying to keep answering old questions. There's also something nice about inventing questions for yourself even if other people have already invented them.

There are definitely more songs to be written. Music has an infinite number of possibilities. If Bob Dylan can write such wonderful music with three chords, imagine how many options there are if you use more chords. Or invent new chords, like other cultures have done. Maybe that should be a goal in my life - too invent a new chord. Or even a new note. That would be great. I could call it "H".
