It’s been a while, but I am back.
I’ve spent some time reevaluating my goals. For the most part, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I can’t do everything at once. So, I’ll do the best that I can, at the things that give me more satisfaction. I realize that this feeling isn’t new, but that’s how it is.
Anyway, here are some images from the last few months.
I realize that I haven’t been posting as much as I’d like to. I’ve slipped back into the habit of spending too much time on Instagram, and my involvement in numerous side projects has also kept me from posting more frequently.
Unfortunately, for the same reasons, my reading (beyond work-related material) has also been minimal lately.
I’m committed to changing this moving forward. Remember, progress is a journey that includes both steps forward and steps back.
Here are some recent moments:
That’s it, folks.
Have you ever felt that one day you will miss today?
When you realize that, there comes an urge to make the best of the moment, to not lose anything, and, hopefully, to remember everything. Most of all, you know that, one day, you will want to feel like that again. Unfortunately, no camera exists for that, so, you have to settle for the second-best thing – photos, videos, souvenirs.
I had this feeling when I lived abroad, acutely aware of how flimsy time is and how fast it would pass. Furthermore, I was sure I would remember just a few details. That’s when I picked up photography, to fight the impermanence of experiences. It’s always been for the future me.
The same feeling returned when my son was born. I knew I’d crave the sensations of that day again, and only some memories would resist the passing of time. Nowadays, as his youth flies by, I feel the need to hold on to the moment more often than ever. So, I click, I click, I click.
This is the nature of good times.
A beautiful Sunday afternoon spent with family.
After messing around with WordPress and with a lot of help from AI, I am finally done. The blog looks just as I wanted it, and now I can focus on the actual writing.
On that note, it happens to me so frequently that I can’t be alone in this: I am often more enthusiastic about something before I actually start doing it, rather than when I am actually doing it. I mean, I watch all the YouTube videos about the thing, learn what I have to learn to be able to do the thing, buy everything that I (often don’t) need to do the thing, and then, when I actually do it, all that excitement is gone after a while.
Let’s just hope this will not be the case with the blog.
Wish me luck.
