It’s been a while…

since I last written here. I checked my draft earlier and there it was, many unwritten posts, unsaid words and unexpressed thoughts.

Half of 2025 has passed by and I can’t seem to remember much of it. There were happy moments, there were sad moments and there were definitely many stressful moments. Thinking back, what was I even busy with? LivingStruggling day by day, trying to get through one chaos after another.

I don’t know why I am feeling such strong sense of melancholy at the time of writing. Ozzy Osbourne, the “prince of darkness” has passed away at the age of 76 few days ago. I wasn’t even a big fan of his music but I have always always loved that crazy guitar riff in Crazy Train .

Digressing a little, I was first introduced to that song when I was around 14? 15? At that age, maybe it was the typical angsty teenage rebellion but these lyrics hold dear to me till this day

Heirs of the cold war

Is what we have become

Inheriting trouble

I’m mentally numb”

The song was released in the 1980s, a particularly tumultuous decade in the modern century, and it still is relevant today four decades later. Why is that the case?

Back to the topic, yeah reality seems to just hit when icons of your youth are slowing getting old and dying. Justin Bieber is now a dad, Liam has passed away, fun’s “we are young” is already more than a decade old. It’s insane how time flies.

Would it really be nice if we were older?
