I don’t want my dreams to be extinguished by everyday life.
It’s important to me, and I believe it’s important for all of us, to pursue our dreams despite the challenges that may come our way. What are my dreams? I want to be creatively active (by doing street photography, writing, and managing the www.adammazek.com blog) until the end of my life. These activities bring me immense joy and fulfillment. I’ve even started doing intermittent fasting and exposing my body to cold (besides regular walking) to increase my chances of becoming a healthier and more robust human. All these things fill my everyday life. Still, I do not have to mention that I work in a broadly defined Finance.
Sometimes, I think about whether I should give up walking and doing street photography to become a more robust and professional financier.
And you know what, my Dear Friend? Each time such thoughts appear, they disappear sooner rather than later. I won’t let my dreams be extinguished by everyday life. I cannot imagine living without walking, doing street photography, writing, and managing my blog. If I had to stop doing all these things, my soul would dry down and die somehow. I love photographing mundane reality. I know this reality can sometimes be brutal.
Even if it happens (e.g., Russia attacks my homeland, Poland, or an enormous economic crisis bursts so that the unemployment level rises and I lose my job and have difficulty in finding a new one), I know I will do many things to still be able to do the essence of my creative doings.
While writing about all these things, I asked myself if everyday life can indeed prevent me from accomplishing my dreams or if it is me who can do it. Undoubtedly, I can try to adapt to each situation life will bring me. Even if it hurts, it will be worth doing. I must fight for myself with myself. Keep your fingers crossed for me, my Dear Friend.
