Music has been a huge part of my life ever since I've been a kid. From listening to EDM tracks I found in youtube intros as a kid, to my Rock and Metal phase and all the way to where i am now, music has always helped me either pass my time, get my emotions out or connect with people.

If you're my friend, or has at least talked to me a couple of times, you know I'll bring up my love for music WAY too often (and to those who always listen, i love you). I've yet to find someone who understands music from my perspective, how much it can effect my emotions, what about music is truly THE thing that makes me so attracted to it.

The way i feel music is hard to put into words on its own. Theres an album i always refer to when i try to explain this, "Slow burn" by Old Gray.

This album is a perfect, short example of how i perceive music. The absolutely amazing mix of emotional lyrics as well as the perfect combination of distorted guitars and throat tearing screams puts on a scene with every song. I listen to this album sometimes, staring at a wall. Its honestly better than any movie, any form of visual media you could consume, just self interpretation. Its a movie in my mind. Every word, every note adds to the scene. The overall dark theme of the album makes you really think deeply about your past experiences with life, and connect with the songs in a way, Finding relateability and comfort in them.

Im like this with most music i listen to. I wish everyone could see music this way. It honestly makes me mad when someone "doesnt know what they listen to" or "listens to everything" but cannot name a single thing they like about a song, some dont even consider the artist that made it.

Art has always been a huge part of my life, but started being my passion around the age of 13, when i discovered the furry fandom. I remember browsing twitter, being amazed at what people can create with the power of digital drawing software and a graphic tablet.

I remember starting my jurney on my phone, drawing with my finger in my bed. The drawings were horrible, i wish i still had them somewhere, one of them is still posted on my twitter profile. i remember showing them to my friends, denying being a furry claiming its just the art that i like. eventually i got my hands on my first graphic tablet, a wacom intous M. it came with a free 2 year subscription to Clip Studio Paint, which is still the program i use to this day. eventually i upgraded to a XPPen artist 15.6 pro and it has served me well ever since.

The passion i experienced with art when i first started is something ive never felt before. I'd always find time to draw. Every single day i made something new and i wanted to improve. i remember the sleepless nights I had when I didnt like the drawing i made that day, crying in my bed, looking at other peoples art trying to make myself feel better, waking up before school just to draw cause i wasnt satisfied with what i made the day prior. Its been almost 4 years since i started drawing now. The passion slowly turned into a routine, yet i still yearn for improvement. Its never good enough.

Hello! My name is Nodix...

The comfort of my home and the area where i live is honestly the best "vacation" I've ever had. I will never understand people who find travel relaxing and enioyable. Traveling for vacation is a selfish act done by humans to escape their own problems and make themselves feel distant for a week or two, wasting resources, causing overtourism in many areas effecting the life of locals simply for their own eniojement.

Traveling for education, employment, meeting people etc. does not apply to this. I'm mostly talking about resort vacations. Big hotel, lots of packing, panicking, loud airports, anxiety, half the trip being just learning where the hell everything is, scams at every corner, tourists covering the streets... I don't see the appeal, at least not to the extent some people do.

As long as im with the people i love, even if its in my backyard, i consider that a vacation.
