Introduction
What pops into your head when you hear the word “animation”? Cartoons? Anime? Japan? Maybe… fox girls? Yeah, you’re not wrong. But hold on—we’re going philosophical for a sec. Stay with me.See, we animators are basically reality stalkers. We watch the world move, catch its little patterns, and then try to bring that magic back to life—on paper, or more likely, inside some glitchy software that crashes at least twice a day.Our mission? Give life to the lifeless. Make the static move. Because without movement, it’s not animation—it’s just sad, still art staring back at you like, “why haven’t you rigged me yet?”And then there’s imagination—the secret sauce. It’s the spark that kicks everything off. But turning that spark into something real? Yeah, it takes patience. Like, monk-level patience. You gotta break it down, build it back up, and probably cry a little in between.Bottom line: animation is the art of making life where there was none. It’s like a bonfire on a chilly night, fizzy lemonade on a blazing summer day, or a soft cat paw gently smacking you in the face at 4 a.m. Pure magic.
Solitude
We are one and alone. Isn't this a rather uncomfortable thought? Can make you go mad even thinking about it. It's also a bridge to your true identity, by embracing it we return to our original nature.Loneliness can feel particularly dreadful, especially to the fragmented mind of ego, which exists as a separate entity among dozens of others. But why would consciousness prefer splitting itself into multitudes over being one integrated self? Could it be that ego consciousness is afraid to be alone? If you are brought up in world of duality and that's the only reality you know, then when you get the non-dual experience of the world, this brings as much joy as misery. Misery in the form of deep, existential and infinite loneliness. It is easy to see why people would prefer the world of duality, because who would want to go through the abyss of our inner void, from which you can not return, experiencing despair and infinite loneliness. Madness indeed.As your sense of oneness gets stronger you're becoming more and more aware and alone, it also gives you knowledge that cuts deeper than the surface. Specifically that the outer world is the mirror image of your inner world and vice versa. We're something like a fractal. The pattern of conflict in our inner world, like anger, expresses in the outer world as wars, disasters or some kind of geo-political conflicts. 'As above so bellow' sort of thing.To see the world as your reflection is very practical, because by improving yourself you improve the world. By applying this knowledge, you can create a more pleasant life experience. But from the point of ego this feels like insanity. Truly it can feel like you're going mad. Mostly because ego likes to blame "others" for it's misery, but when you realize that actually you are responsible for the world you're creating, it comes as a shock and the mind will filter this knowledge out as it threatens the survival of your normal day to day identity.To unify fragmented self into oneness, the role of acceptance (and forgiveness) is crucial. It's hard enough to accept other people as they are, but when you know that all your judgments of others, are the things you can not accept about yourself, and exist as potential seeds within you, ready to sprout, it's very painful.That's why cultivating your inner garden is so important. Choose carefully what kind of plants you allow to grow in your garden. Right kind of cultivation makes your garden beautiful!
Living for yourself
How do you live? That’s the big question famously asked by the legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki—and the title of his latest film. The Boy and the Heron. Deep, right?It’s one of those “life’s biggest” questions we all kinda avoid asking ourselves while scrolling through memes. Can life really be abundant, joyful, meaningful, and still reward us fairly for our hard work? You’d want to believe in a fair universe—where good vibes and effort bounce right back to you like a cosmic boomerang. But... is that actually how it works?Maybe, from the highest, most zen perspective, the world is a perfectly just system. But guess what? We mere mortals don’t usually get to peek from that heavenly balcony. We want instant results—preferably in cold hard cash—and our expectations usually scratch only the surface of life’s many mysterious layers.Most of us barely notice, let alone care, how our actions ripple through our inner selves—because society’s been drilling into us: money, status, and looking good matter. Now, don’t get me wrong, sometimes living “human” means embracing the hustle and putting spiritual quests on pause. Especially if you’ve been lost in your own head for too long.So, let’s get real: in this society, if you want to survive, you kinda have to beg—uh, apply—for someone to pay you. That puts you in a vulnerable spot, ripe for being used like a free office coffee machine. Desperation? That’s like a neon sign flashing “take advantage of me!”That’s why you’ve gotta set boundaries, know your worth, and for heaven’s sake, never give 100%. Give too much, and burnout will come knocking like an uninvited party guest—trust me, I’ve hosted it.Here’s the kicker: the best strategy is to give just enough to stay employed and sane. Sounds crazy, right? But from personal experience (and watching a lot of office politics unfold), employers can be masters of pretending, manipulating, and milking you for extra work while skimping on the paycheck. Not all of them, but enough to keep you suspicious.I know you wanna shine and be the office superstar, but pump those brakes unless you want a meltdown. Spoiler: your boss isn’t your BFF, and trusting humans blindly? That’s like trusting a cat not to knock stuff off your desk. Instead, trust in the Big Stuff—God, Mother Nature, the Great Spirit, or whatever cosmic power gets you through the day.Heads up though—this is just one perspective. Your boss might have a very different story (probably involving spreadsheets and coffee consumption charts).Honestly, if you loved your job and got paid fairly, burnout wouldn’t be a thing. But since many of us are left with crumbs and leftovers... well, that’s just not okay.So, when you’re clocking in, remember: set those boundaries, don’t be a doormat, ask for more money if the workload balloons, or politely say “no thanks.” Less is more, and taking care of yourself is non-negotiable.
Route to gratitude
Do you appreciate life? Does your path lead to your root? Wait… what? Roots? I thought only plants had roots! Nope, humans do too—metaphorically speaking.In today’s world, where your brain is basically a pinball machine bouncing between TikTok, emails, and whatever noise your phone makes, it’s super important to stay rooted in your own source of being. Life without gratitude? That’s like pizza without cheese—just sad and disappointing.So, what is gratitude anyway?At its deepest, gratitude means being thankful for all your experiences—even the crappy ones (yes, even when I’m grimacing as I write this). Why? Because every experience is a little wisdom nugget in disguise. And guess what’s the secret ingredient to gratitude? Drumroll... despair! Yep, that heavy feeling of having—or being—nothing. When life strips away all the fluff and leaves you with nada, that’s when you realize how ridiculously precious even the tiniest moment of life really is.If you’ve never tasted that kind of despair, you might start treating life like an all-you-can-eat buffet—and still feel hungry. You chase bigger, flashier experiences hoping to fill the void, but it never works. Why? Because you’ve lost connection with your root—emptiness, nothingness, the granddaddy of all beginnings.So how do you reconnect? You go on a quest, peeling yourself like an emotional onion. You face the scary stuff—guilt, fear, greed, lust, shame, and yes, even that weird little voice that tells you to eat cake at midnight. Peel it all off and suddenly you’re staring into the abyss. Deep, deep despair—like, “where’s my happy place?” despair. It’s painful, exhausting, and your shadow (the moody part of you) might crash on your couch for a while.But here’s the kicker: that dark, lonely transformation is the ticket to truly appreciating life’s little gifts—the warm bed, a hot meal, a cozy blanket, anime and hey, even clean socks.Nobody really wants to go through this—it’s like a self-induced breakup with your own ego—but it’s necessary if you want real gratitude, the kind you can’t Instagram or share in a group chat. It’s just between you and... well, you.When you finally wake up from that soul-scrubbing journey, where do you land? The forest. Because when you’ve got nothing left, the forest is like that old friend who never asks for money, always welcomes you with fresh air, bird songs, and wild animals (though maybe not the mystical flaming deer kind). It’s peaceful, it’s raw, it’s Mother Nature giving you a hug.But—and this is a big but—while the forest is home, humans aren’t really built for solo survival out there. Sooner or later, you gotta head back to society… where things are messy, noisy, and full of people. But hey, that’s life or is it?
Dark times bro, better go lift some weights
Dreaman
part 1
On the night of a full moon—classic timing for weird stuff—our guy, Dreaman, gets totally sucked into his computer screen. Like, literally. His attention is so intense, it basically punches a hole through reality and tosses him straight into the void. Not ideal.Now he's floating in a soup of despair and confusion, which, surprise surprise, starts reshaping itself into a whole new “reality.” One thing turns into another (you know, as dream logic goes), and suddenly his room is gone—poof!—replaced by a mysterious forest with a dramatic bonfire right in the middle.But wait, plot twist! The fire shapeshifts into a mythical deer-ish creature, glowing with vibes and mystery. And what does Dreaman do? Of course, he trusts it. Obviously. So off he goes, wandering into the forest like it's totally normal to follow flaming magical deer through the woods.
Dreaman’s catching Z’s under a big oak, wakes up like, “Wait, what time is it?” then snoozes again. He munches a magic mushroom—because, why not?—and BOOM—he’s skydiving, turning into an owl (wise move), a horse (neigh), a jet (vroom), and then a rocket (blast off!).
Plot twist: the rocket crashes the jet in a cosmic traffic jam—kaboom! Suddenly, he lands at The Source, where It is banging out tunes on bowls like a spiritual DJ.
Then—BOOM—Dreaman wakes up… and naturally naps again. Third dream’s the charm, or is it?
Dreaman
part 2
Now, fate's latest joke lands him on the streets. Cold, hungry, and suddenly very aware that cardboard boxes don’t make great beds, he decides—yeah, nope, not the life for him. So he hunts down a job. A gruesome one. The kind of job that makes you question your life choices halfway through the application.It’s awful. He’s doing things he wouldn’t wish on his worst enemy—all just to survive. Soul-crushing. Toe-blistering. Spirit-sapping stuff.By the end of the day, the misery reaches critical levels. And just when he thinks he can’t take it anymore—bam! He wakes up.phewJust a dream. Again. Probably.
Turns out he was just snoozing in a cave the whole time, dreaming up all sorts of nonsense. Again. So relaxed, he starts drifting into yet another vivid dream—images swirling like soap bubbles in his mind. But bam!—out of absolutely nowhere, the Guru appears like a Wi-Fi signal in the wilderness, popping his dream bubble with cosmic timing.Startled but curious, the Dreaman strikes up a conversation with this unexpected visitor. The Guru, clearly done with all this dream-layering business, decides it’s time to wake him up. For real. Once and for all.And now… here we are. Another dream? Or something else entirely? Who knows!

About
Hi, my name is Juris - an animator among other things. My interests include creating digital visuals that shows the beauty of movement.I am in the business of imagination, thus I like to create, transform and give new shape through the creative process.
I have came to understand that to work in this field one must be planted firmly into something solid and real, so that you keep your foot on the ground and not fly away to clouds, because the imagination can take you outside the boundaries of time and space, which can be dangerous...That being said,
I invite you on this journey, for us together, to discover and get in touch with that force of infinite imagination, to create something truly beautiful and meaningful.
