I am not particularly a list person. I think it's a thing only meant for the neat and orderly; two adjectives that I will never categorize myself in haha, so here goes a photo-list of the things I badly want to do now (and almost always, apparently).
I always mentally plan to go out/somewhere every week just to shoot. But I never do. I have not gotten my rolls of film developed for almost two months now because a roll would seem to take me forever to finish.
Office work do not count. I want to have a satisfying leisure read, be buried into somebody else's piece of imagination and get my head out inspired and renewed.
3. Write
Obviously, if you don't read, you can't write. I am having such a HARD time to write these days, and more noticeably for the last year (something who writes in her day job should not say). I was never a good writer, but if I wanted to, I knew I could come up with something readable. Not now. It feels like something was switched off. I can't recognize the same familiarity anymore. It is painful every time I try. And with this, I came up with the theory: My sense of expression has been sliced off from writing and diverted to film photography.
(Ironically, this item has the most number of words in the entire list).
Preferably with a friend (more preferably with the bestfriend), and/or while doing #3. The cozier, the better. Let's pretend coffee won't cause my teeth to fall off.
5. Travel
I want to get out of here! Here being any of the following:
- this town
- this country
- this lifetime :p
At this point, it doesn't matter if it is on a beach or a crowded city. Somewhere I can do items 1 to 4 altogether (but not simultaneously hehe).
You're a good writer! :) You probably just need to push yourself. I'm not sure what kind of writing you write, but I perceive you as a person with deep insights, maybe you can write about those ideals. Sorry. I do not know what I am saying.:p
ReplyDeleteAlso, let's photowalk some time. I really would want to meet the people I follow cause of Film Photography. And well shoot with them. Haha!
Aia! :) I don't know what to say.. But thank you for the kind words :) :) I have always been insecure with my writing because I always end up saying the same things. Unfortunately, I cannot use my 'deep insights' (your words, not mine haha) because I'm a technical writer in my day job. But hopefully I can still work out on my thoughts and find a way to get them in this blog.
DeleteA photowalk would be fun! Although I am really shy and awkward in person haha! Come to think of it, I don't have any film photography friends in real life nor have I ever met one that I talk to online. A shoot would be nice :)
