Ars Gratia Itineris

Pubblished on: 10/01/2026

For my 29th birthday, I finally decided to gift myself the freedom to fail and to succeed without giving a fuck about… many things. For a long time I was caught in the polar extremes of failure and success. I either suffered or got hooked on the feeling, always wanting more and more, just like a greedy pig. I mean... can you see what polarization is doing to the world right now, too? So I thought it was time to make my own rules (’cause rules are made up bs anyways) and shift my vision from outcomes to the process. It’s much healthier, and honestly, way cooler.

I also happened to dig out and old song of mine that I composed in a moment where I actually needed a certified freedom like this, but I just couldn’t find the right means. You know when it brews inside your head, but you can’t understand what it means yet?

Thank you for your time,
