I’ve built a routine that I do not want to escape from.

Today (I wrote this text on the 31st of December, 2023), I want to state I do not have any plans or expectations regarding 2024.

My ultimate loyalty is to my creative heart, mind, and soul.

Today (I wrote this text on the 28th of December, 2023), I will write about my appetite for fasting.

I don’t comment on current political events because my blog is anti-mainstream.

Just because I feel I’m getting more intelligent as I get older doesn’t mean I’m wise at all. I may just be getting less and less stupid.

Enjoy who you are. After all, you are unique.

The title of this text, “Don’t you think it’s sometimes wise not to grow up?” is a quote from one of The Rolling Stones’ most charming songs, “100 Years Ago.”

I don’t want to stay on the surface of myself. I want to lead a voyage of discovery inside myself – that’s why I create.

Sometimes, I wonder whether I should be afraid of what everyone is scared of.

I wrote this text on the 21st of December, 2023. It was a day when I knew I had five days of doing street photography ahead of me.

The older I am, the more I feel my existence is a blessed nothingness in the totality of the Universe.

Are human bodies relics? After all, humankind’s history moves much faster than our bodies’ evolution.

While walking and doing street photography dressed in summer clothes (including the www.adammazek.com t-shirt), I see that I mainly cause consternation among passersby.

Today (I wrote this text on the 16th of December, 2023), it was a gloomy day in Warsaw.

The more I read Marcel Proust’s “In A Search Of Lost Time,” the more I see and feel people from the previous centuries were much more mindful than most of us are today.

Today (I wrote this text on the 14th of December, 2023), I will note that I don’t believe in Lennon for the second time in my life.

When I do street photography and capture everyday items and mundane reality, I am performing the operation of the spirit.

Today (I wrote this text on the 11th of December, 2023), I won’t describe my problems. I do not see any reason to do it (for today).

Today (I wrote this text on the 10th of December, 2023), I will write about yawning.

I like listening to music while working in the office or writing new texts. That’s why today (I wrote this text on the 8th of December, 2023), I will write about the best music to focus on.

This text won’t refer to one of the greatest rock albums ever to appear, Guns and Roses’ “Use Your Illusion.”

The fucking Putin did not inspire me to ruin, destroy, and annihilate other people’s lives.

The real life is on the pavement, not on the computer screen.

This text won’t be about a movie about Michael Jackson entitled “This Is It.”

I wrote this text on the 2nd of December, 2023, after walking and doing street photography for two hours wearing summer clothes when the temperature was -2 degrees Celsius (28.4 degrees Fahrenheit).

I do not believe it is possible to force creativity.

It’s a mystery to me, but each new day brings a fresh idea, a new spark of inspiration. The joy of this discovery is what keeps me going, always eager to see what the next day will bring. Speaking shortly, “New day = new idea.”

You are what you read; read well.

I look for happiness in myself.

Marcus Aurelius and Marcel Proust, two literary giants, mentioned ice baths in their worldwide famous works.

Today (I wrote this text on the 25th of November, 2023), while walking and doing street photography, I was not thinking about pain.

Undoubtedly, Warsaw is an endless inspiration.

By reading my blog, you will know everything and nothing about me.

Escapism is not for me.

Today (I wrote this text on the 21st of November, 2023), I will write about the healing power of street photography and how this sportive and creative activity can improve one’s mental health.

I am here to be, to exist, to experience, and to contemplate.

On the 19th of November, 2023, I had the privilege of walking with my beloved Dad in the healing forest in Brok. The weather was a chilly 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), but the warmth of our shared experience far outweighed the cold.

This text will be controversial. Still, I believe we weren’t born for convenience, well-being, and fortune.

A few days ago (I wrote the current text on the 18th of November, 2023), I noticed one of Warsaw’s restaurant advertising slogans. It sounded like “Eat, drink, live.” When I spotted it, I changed it in my mind to “Eat, drink, sleep.”

Nulla dies sine linea is a Latin phrase, “no day without a line.”
