Music is my first real love, but writing is how I'm surviving this thing we call life. Writing is how I organise my brain, and music is responsible for emotions.

Transmutation Of "Negative" Energy.
Sebastian Skylark

This week was pretty though, and I totally acknowledge that I allow it to be that way.

I didn’t took the negative thought captive, like the bible encourages us to do so I paid the price. Fair enough.

I love the concept of harnessing the negative emotions, or the transmutations of it if you will.

In my case that would be a song, but it can be anything.
A painting, simple drawing, a poem, an essay, atomic or more nuclear, whatever that means.

It’s not about wallowing in your sorrows, but creating an outlet for the emotions that used to plague us with no solution in sight.

We all like happy music right? but the most listened to music is the sad one. Why?

Cause it’s relatable, we all know what is like to feel like shit, and then you hear a song that totally encapsulate the very feelings you had zero words for? How amazing is that? We feel understood, like we’re not alone, hopeful and like the life’s angst subsides.

The fact that we can take our “negative” experiences or feelings, and turn them into something helpful is very inspiring. Cause let’s think about it. How often will we feel or experience something negative? Probably at least once per day right? So we have an endless pool to draw from.

To get better, more efficient at dealing with problems, formulating the message that comes from them and helps everybody around us.
That’s a hell of a way to make peace with, and accept negativity as part of life.

Is it still negative if it helps make our lives more positive in a long run?
