How life really is.

I’m tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. It feels like the world’s gone from raw, simple, and fun to fake, over-regulated, and disconnected. Things used to be real—back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, life had grit, freedom, and a sense of adventure. We could work on our cars, ride motorbikes, make noise with our mates—and no one was calling the cops or labeling you for enjoying life. Now? You can’t even let loose without someone in a position of power trying to control it. Kids can’t make noise. People can’t speak their mind without being called “offensive” or “problematic.” Everything’s been sanitized, regulated, and turned into a spectacle. The internet’s full of filtered lives and fake success, and we’re told to keep quiet or else risk getting canceled or silenced. But here’s the thing: there are so many of us, and we’re tired of it. We’ve forgotten what it feels like to live without constantly checking our phones or wondering if we’ve offended someone. We’ve lost touch with real, honest living—working with our hands, getting our hands dirty, and just being instead of always performing. It’s time for a wake-up call. If we keep going down this path, we’ll forget what makes us human. The world isn’t a fairytale, and Earth doesn’t care about your digital life or your perfectly curated online persona. We need to stop pretending that everything’s okay and start remembering that life is about more than what’s on a screen. This is about reclaiming the freedom to be real again—to speak, to live, to create without fear of judgment. It’s time to remind people that it’s okay to be loud, messy, and unapologetically human. It’s time for a movement of people who want realness over perfection, rawness over rules, and freedom over fear. Sometimes I sit back and wonder what the hell happened to this world.
