  Originally written on December 22, 2019 – Grade 11.  Revisited and expanded in 2025. Music has always been the invisible thread weaving through the fabric of my life. I wrote the original version of this piece when I was in Grade 11, on a quiet December day that invited reflection. Back then, I was still discovering myself, trying to find my voice in a world that often felt loud and confusing. Music became that voice. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the songs I loved were helping me tell my own story, not just as entertainment, but as something far more personal and powerful. It was the end of a year full of changes and growing pains, and I found myself needing a way to express what words alone couldn’t capture. That’s when I realized: my life wasn’t just a series of memories or milestones—it was a series of songs. Music, for me, has always been more than sound. It’s a companion that walks beside me through every season—every joy, every heartbreak, every turning point. ...

🔷 Introduction: Why I Wrote This Article and What It’s About I first wrote this article on December 9th, 2019, when I was in Grade 11, as part of a school assignment. At the time, my understanding of Faust was limited to the surface-level story: a man makes a deal with the devil and suffers the consequences. However, even as I analyzed the text for my class, I sensed there was so much more beneath the surface—layers of meaning that touched on the core of human existence.

The questions it poses: Why do humans endlessly seek more? Why are we drawn toward temptation, even when it harms us? Can true forgiveness and salvation be found after grave mistakes? These are questions that I found both daunting and deeply compelling. In t...

Why did I write this article in the first place? I know this might not seem important in the grand scheme of things. It’s not breaking news. It’s not a grand announcement. But still, I felt the need to write it. Sometimes we go through quiet changes that deserve to be witnessed, even if only by ourselves first. This article is one of those moments for me. A pause. A reflection. A decision to look back at where I’ve been, and forward toward where I’m going. I’ve always felt like I exist between worlds. Between the past and the future. Between the sacred silence of ancient tombs and the bright, blinking chaos of modern screens. Between mythology and machine learning. And for a long time, I didn’t know what to do with that duality—how to make it something more than just a personal fascination. But over the last few years, that inner contrast has become my compass. It’s shaped the way I create, the tools I use, and even how I define myself as a storyteller. I wrote this article to tra...
