I make loud guitar noises and have unpopular opinions. If it’s underground alternative or progressive metal, I probably like it.

Imperfections are a part of life. Despite this being an obvious observation, many people (especially perfectionists such as myself) struggle with this fact. If even the tiniest little minuscule detail doesn’t pan out as envisioned in the “perfect” plan, it will nag at me till I at least attempt to do something about it. However, […]
