Blue Hour with Stas LiutinIs it possible to escape the system?Every game has its own set of rules. As someone begins to explain them to you, it’s easy to follow along at first glance. And so you carry on, following one routes and then the other, until at some point you can no longer remember how it all began and what was the initial point of the game? Who is the winner? #thesystem #citylife #escapethenoise

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinFreedom in the lonelinessAn average person makes 29 ‘real’ friendships over their lifetime, where only 6 of those endure. Six people, out of eight billion. For some people, 20 people isn’t enough, while for someone else 2 quality friendships is all that matters. I certainly relate to the second category. It’s interesting how the question of how many people you have in your life isn’t always about the extent of your introversion. Lately, I was starting to wonder if it can even be considered as fully a matter of personal choice. I personally struggle to sustain a connection with a lot of people simultaneo...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinWinter rut and how to get out of itIt is winter, the time of the year when everyone is asleep. No matter what time of the day it is, everyone seems to be in this strange, semi-detached state of mind: aware of what’s going on, yet existing somewhere distant. Winter is known to be a time of festivities and celebrations, shared tables and familiar rituals, but once the holidays are over, what are we to do for the rest of this empty stretch of time that follows? People seem to ask all sorts of questions. It feels like the whole world is si...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinShould we try to change people?From childhood we are taught how things should be – the ways people should behave, how the conversations should flow, how our lives should unfold. And so, when someone diverges from our expectations, even in the smallest ways, we rush to correct them, to offer advice they didn’t ask for, to intervene, believing that we are contributing to their growth, when in reality, we might just be protecting our own sense of control. To accept someone for who they are requires us to release this illusion of certainty and predictability. And yet, there is a paradox: if no one ever...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinThe beauty in everyday moments [HOLIDAY RERUN]New episodes on 14.01It takes courage to stop, without having any justification or expectation in mind. However, I am starting to think that it is in these moments of stillness, we get the most out of life, and paradoxically, when there’s so little room for boredom in our lives, it starts to feel like the most precious state there could ever be. Countless possibilities, and yet no action despite everything. For cooperation: Website: https://lutinstas320.myportfolio.com Gmail: lutinstas320@gmail.com Inst (podcast): @bluehourpod In...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinOvercoming adversity [HOLIDAY RERUN]Many of us underestimate the impact of our surroundings on our emotions and perceptions of the world. One misstep, and you end up attached to the wrong person, with your memory of what it meant to live a stable, calm life rapidly fading away. There are toxic people everywhere – they might be a person sitting beside you on a park bench, a colleague who always finds a way to belittle your ideas in meetings, a friend who only calls when they need something from you, a family member who turns every conversation into a guilt trip. You might not ev...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinThe art of appreciation [HOLIDAY RERUN]We blame ourselves, others, or the circumstances around us. And negativity becomes the default, because it’s hard to see through the veil of pain. But what if there was a meaning to all this? Have you ever thought what would become of you without all these unpleasant, yet very deep human emotions of sadness, longing, anxiety and so on. Would art, love, or passion burn as deeply without being touched by pain? Some of the greatest drives to create, to change, come from our darkest moments. I really believe the key to a fulfilled life lies in noticing th...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinThe joy of coming back home [WINTER RERUN]Back when I was in my teenage years, travelling would bring me immense excitement, and upon the last day of the trip, deep sadness and frustration. Before living in London, I never really felt like my place of residence was somewhere special, somewhere I could feel the freedom of belonging. But at this present moment, everything is different. I’ve been away for most of this summer, having seen so much of the world, which I will never forget. And for the first time ever, I felt so happy when I discovered that I was in fact, homesick. I re...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinWhat do you gain when everything is lost?It’s strange how quickly life can shift—how in a single moment, something you’ve built over months can disappear in a matter of days, as if the universe had been quietly preparing its exit long before you even realized it was happening. This summer, I gained more than I expected—connections, opportunities, a vision of stability—and just as quickly, I lost all of it. And what surprised me most wasn’t the loss itself, but the realization that there was nothing beneath it to hold onto. When everything falls apart and I am left with nothing, strangely en...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinThe age of 'recycling'Lately I’ve been stuck in a cycle of repetition and familiarity. Everything I hear, everything I see, carries the echo of something I’ve already lived through. Conversations blend into one another; places lose their uniqueness. I can predict the jokes before they’re told, the topics that will follow, the conclusions people will reach, as if the world became a looped script that refuses to rewrite itself.

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinYou will always get misunderstoodOne of the most unpleasant things I’ve ever experienced was getting misunderstood. At times when you feel like you’ve done everything right and your intentions were sincere, there’s still a possibility of being rejected. Many of us tend to get frustrated when we fail to earn the trust of someone we look up to, especially at times when we are not even given a chance to explain ourselves. The harsh truth about life is that oftentimes, people will deem their subjective judgment more credible due to the discomfort and the time-consuming nature of trying to see a situ...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinEveryone is so nonchalant these daysWe live in time fearmongering. Everything around us is directed to induce fear within – news, articles, films, the stories you hear from your friends about their exes. Fear has become such an ingrained emotion in our day to day life, that it would be impossible for many of us to picture a life of peace and quiet. As a result, many of us feel the need to protect ourselves from countless possibilities of emotional suffering. This is something that led to what I called an era of nonchalance. Strangely enough, in time where practically everything is aimed at separating us...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinWhat comes after death?Unlike most animals, humans live with acute awareness that time is finite. We are used to thinking that there is a beginning, middle, and end to everything. Our minds are wired to arrange life in a sequence, and really, it’s close to impossible for the majority to imagine what infinity would look and feel like.Hypothetically speaking, if we were to gain the certainty of our immortality, the immortality of the spirit, how would things be different? Would time still matter? And what about rushing ahead of others to succeed, prioritizing work over human relationships, competing wi...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinWhat you hold on to - controls youAt times, life can get very unpredictable. In moments like this, we often find ourselves faced with a lot of uncertainty, going through a series of pleasant (or unpleasant) surprises. It is easy to become attached to the things we value most in the cycle of fearing their loss. And while many of us perpetually live in this survival mode, holding on to the things we are so terrified to lose, there's always another, a more stable way to lead our day-to-day life...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinMy (not overly optimistic) take on AIIn this constant motion, we respond very differently. Some retreat into isolation, overwhelmed by the endless pool of possibilities. Others a once in an lifetime opportunity for rapid growth. While it’s tempting to make comments about the current state of things, there’s something to be said about embracing the present and looking for ways to make the future a better place instead of dwelling on what has already been done.For cooperation:Website: https://lutinstas320.myportfolio.comGmail: lutinstas320@gmail.comInst (podcast): @bluehourpodInst(personal): @stas_liut...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinTo be powerful or to be free?Societies have long been structured around hierarchies. The concept of authority is ancient, and in many cases, necessary—we often need leaders to regulate and maintain order, as many of us would prefer to be guided rather than give orders. Yet, there comes a problem once a person starts obsessing with power. Some of us might spend our whole life trying to prove our worth to the world. Some of us build our whole lives around trying to present an intimidating image of ourselves to the society, while betraying our real self in the process of it. It's only wh...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinThe courage to say yes to lifeA lot of us live in a program, limiting the opportunities from appearing due to being confined to an imaginary boundary that is contingent on our made-up sense of self-worth. And when we sense a life-changing experience around the corner, we often tend to push the opportunity away by assuming that this is not something we are worthy of saying yes to. It is terrifying to let go of our conditioning and say yes to life. It is incredibly scary to be spontaneous. For many of us, the freedom paradoxically lies in the lack of it, in the illusion...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinI'm scared of timeLately, time has been flowing so slowly, which got me thinking about time. How can I be so arrogant to assume that a simple human mind can be in control of everything? How can I assume that everything has something to do with me? Why don’t we look at our present and act on it, instead of measuring how much time was wasted in the past or will likely be wasted in the future? All of these thoughts are either assumptions or false conjectures. Everything is a learning experience, and it is a waste of time not to ac...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinDo you enjoy being a victim?There is no bright future for you anymore. You are too old for this, too frail, too exhausted. You have seen too much in this world, so much that every time somebody tells you about their problems, you quickly disregard their argument, saying or at least thinking quietly to yourself that nobody has it worse than you. And therefore nobody will ever understand you. Because surely, you are the only person who has ever been fired. Surely, you are the only one who has been through a breakup. Who lost a loved one. Who was forced to move out...

Blue Hour with Stas LiutinLet go now, or suffer foreverOnce again I have found myself in this really confusing state, questioning everything. Where am I heading, what is my purpose, am I surrounding myself with right people? Why does it feel like I’m burnt out when I have only just started working after a long break? I decide to sit and think, about all things that could possibly improve my current way of life, but even thinking itself has become much of a nuisance. My attention span grows shorter, and every time I have the idea of creating something I am immediately faced with a variety of se...
