Questions and Answers

How many questions do we ask per day? 

How many questions do we ask ourselves per day?

These are very different things.

The questions you ask fellow humans (or even animals) are one thing.
But the ones you ask yourself are in a completely different league.

Can you ask someone what the time is? Sure.

Can you ask them how they are? Definitely.

Can you ask them why we persist and persist at an existence that on the surface doesn't even cover 1% of what we truly want to achieve and that ultimately this ride we call life will be over in the blink of a bloodshot eye rendering all effort and progress gained utterly pointless? ...yeah you can ask that, but don't expect a prepared and positive answer.

There are curiosities we should probably keep to ourselves (with the exception of a very patient friend or family member). They could be mundane dilemmas like what paint to use when making a piece of work, or whether to use audio in a video piece or not. But as we all know these dilemmas may take a lot more than a few seconds of pondering....

Like:

"Should I even be even ATTEMPTING to paint?!"

or

"Wtf am I doing on iMovie?! I don't even 'get' what I'm trying to create!!"

These worries and brief attacks usually pass... But the point is that you ask them in the first place.

I'm not a particularly high strung guy. I stay positive the majority of the time and don't get too hung up on the small things. Nonetheless though, I ask myself questions all of the time. From the trivial to the terrifying. What I have realised is that these questions are what keep us creative types going. Even if we give the wrong answers, it's not the end of the world. Plus, what even is wrong? We'll figure it all out at some stage.

From here on out I vow to ask as many questions as possible.

(I'll try to keep the weird, awkward and panic inducing ones to myself.....maybe)
