The older I am, the more I feel that the desire to create flows in my blood.
I wrote this text on the 9th of November, 2024. It was a typical dark and gloomy November day in Poland. Was I unhappy because of it? Of course not. I aim to cherish each day of my life, no matter how dark or sad it is. After all, I was walking (rucking, to be more precise) during daylight and exposing my body to cold temperatures. How cold was it? It was 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees Fahrenheit). While walking among mundane Warsaw reality, I realized (not for the first time in my life) that the desire to create flows in my blood. I am probably the happiest person who stomps on this planet while walking and taking pictures, whatever attracts my eyes.
While walking, doing street photography, and writing, I feel that the creative flow vibes are running through my whole existence.
I cannot imagine my life without all these activities. Even if I sometimes have breaks and do not create anything, I always return more enthusiastically after a short break. That’s the way it is. I believe I am addicted to it. Is there something wrong? I do not think so. Undoubtedly, it is much better to be addicted to the broadly defined creation process rather than sitting and drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I’ve been doing street photography for more than nine years (I started doing it in October 2015), and I still do not see any possibility of stopping it.
Indeed, I hope to do it until the end of my life. The same is true with writing and managing the www.adammazek.com website. Trust your creative intuition, my Dear Friend. Embrace your artistic instincts, for they are the key to your unique creative journey. If you want to dance, paint, draw, sing, or whatever your heart, mind, and soul will tell you – do it.
