So, I am actually really into philosophy and a heavy thinker. It is sort of a problem, which is why I am always listening to music. It helps to evoke imagination and thought for myself, while also having me face the sight of my reality while ignoring the sounds around me. It also makes killer tunes for situations that I encounter. I also learn to appreciate the sounds of nature and comings and goings of the world around me.
Any who, the philosophy of language really interested me. Linguistics also plays a pretty big role here and some of the chapters we've gone over are covered under this school of thought. Put simply, they are "interested in the origins of language, the nature of meaning, the usage and cognition of language, and the relationship between language and reality."
This article that I found gives a synopsis of almost each section. It is also shorter than other articles I found, while still getting the main point across. Well, if you're interested in the complexity of philosophy, then check this out. If not, you can just give it a quick read through, its fairly easy to understand.

You and I are very similar. Music also helps invoke deep thoughts into my head and I end up questioning the simplest things haha, But I feel as thought being a deep thinker is a blessing but also a curse. The upside is that you can appreciate the good things in life and cherish them more. You're also more open to others opinions because you are more understanding and you see more than one angle to certain things. However, on the downside, you also see the world for how terrible and unfair it can be and once your eyes have been open to the malice, you can never unsee it. So in some ways, it is a good thing but then again, it can be a terrible characteristic to have ya know? That's my opinion at least. Anyways, enough of me ranting. Sweet post man. It was interesting.
