The Hacker Aesthetic

The hacker aesthetic, to me, is the ability to look at things differently, whether it’s fashion, design, code, gardening, or any everyday interaction or problem. It’s finding the path between A and B with elegance and brevity, among other things. There is also a sense of community that comes with it. The hacker mindset attracts a wide range of personalities, most of whom are not a part of any other community. The common trait between these personality types is the urge to learn, share, break, and fix.

On the topic of Love.

Love is the the most complex emotion the average person will ever deal with. Some will use it to experience happiness in their lives and some will consider it a burden. Love is both a word to describe an emotion/feeling and a tangible force that is indescribable but overtly present when dealing with the people/things we care about. Love is every emotion tied together and taken as a whole.

Anger, fear, anxiety, ego, sadness

but also…

Compassion, resilience, trust, comfort, happiness

When we love someone all of these emotions (and more) are present. The negative emotions that come with it are a product of the positive. You should never be afraid of love even when your dealing with the negative. Whatever emotion love is forcing you to deal with at the moment is the emotion the universe needs you to feel, experience, and understand. You’ll come out of it with the knowledge that you are a better personal for having the courage to love in the first place.

I hope whoever it is that needs this has the strength to overcome the negatives of love so that you can live in the comfort of the positives.
