For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

I like to change what I’m grateful for regularly. I could recount all the generic stuff, but if I’m honest I’m currently in awe of my bed. I laid down in it a few weeks ago and just realised how flipping lucky I am to sleep in comfort, every night, in a home I feel secure in. I realised how easily I have overlooked this my whole life. My bed has never felt better.

Do you feel like you’ve lived the same day many times before? 

Yes, and I’m torn on how I feel about it. I think consistency has helped calm the highs and lows of my emotional state, as such I’m calmer and overall more happy for it. I’m also grateful that I have the ability to have that consistency and at the same time, I dislike the fact I do not currently push myself hard enough for new experiences.

What were you doing when you felt most passionate and alive?

I remember emptying a bag of cash onto my bed after I ran my first successful music event. The venue thought I was crazy for doing it for free entry and it took me a bit to persuade them it would work, but the place was rammed. I earned the bar bonus, paid all the bands and still had money left over for myself. Money you earn by yourself, from nothing, whilst doing something to help others is worth ten times what you earn working for someone else.

Are you living a meaningful life?

Meaningful in the eyes of others? I don’t care. Meaningful to me? I don’t care. I love to try to understand and probe absolute and relative truths about the universe and how everything is all connected, but living a ‘meaningful life’ for me is forever subjective and therefore meaningless. I don’t need to have meaning to affirm anything I do, but I don’t judge others for doing so themselves. Go for it, I say.

What are the challenges will the next generation face?

I fear new wars will start not based on religion or borders, but for ideological reasons that weren’t considered ‘a thing’ until someone conjured up a theory, pointed at it, and told everyone it was bad and needs to be purged. Witch hunting was a thing of the past but I can see it creeping in again in many forms. Being able to converse and work together to talk around an issue instead of it being an argument with only two points of view and a desperate need to ‘win’ is the only way the next generation will make any meaningful progress.
