Find yourself!

Do you know how I feel lately? I seem to be starting to find myself. This is the most valuable and only important thing in life that needs to be found and cognized. Since childhood, I have never been bored alone. If friends did not go out for a walk for some reason, but I wanted and had the opportunity, then I went and walked alone with myself and I was fine. I was friends with one person who could not even go to the store alone. He was constantly surprised and looked askance at me, how can I walk alone like that, am I crazy? And even then I was in harmony with myself, and this is to find myself.

Now, if suddenly such a situation arose that a person would have to leave everything material and remain only with himself, then he would be very bad. I, too, depend on the material, like everyone else, but not to the same extent, and if you deprive me of everything, then I will have the most valuable thing - myself, that is, my consciousness, my mind, soul.

And I am still not bored with myself, so I am often alone. Such people are not at all familiar with loneliness - they have their own I, which will support, help out, direct.

Empty people without their I try to fill the space within themselves with something. Such people are greedy for expensive gadgets, clothes, cars, parties, noisy companies. They do not have themselves and in every way they try to take it from the outside. But these are no longer them and there is little chance that they will ever become themselves.

I also have an expensive smartphone, a good relatively passable car, high-quality photographic equipment, fatbike, but I know the properties of these things and what they are for me. The smartphone is for work, not for show-off, the car is for driving on bad roads, and not for show-off, the camera and lenses are for decent pictures, and not for show-offs, a fat bike is for cross-country trips and in hard-to-reach places, and not for show-off. All these things for me are just a tool and the attitude to them is appropriate.

How does this all relate to photography? Through any creativity you can open up and find yourself.

I had the makings of my childhood, but then I closed from time to time and only thanks to photography I started waking up again.

All life has always been built on crazy, dreamers, creative people. Otherwise, we would never have seen the most daring inventions and discoveries.

Damn, my blog has grown too much from photographic to philosophical. It's time to stop, otherwise it will start aggro...

It's just that I don't know what to say specifically about photography and whether it makes sense...but I have something to say about life.
