In today’s post, I will try to explain why I express myself.
If someone accosted me and asked me what I was doing and why I was doing it, and I was in the whirlwind of taking pictures and writing texts, I wouldn’t know how to answer the questions I was asked. It’s not that I would be surprised. I don’t have ready answers to why I take pictures of mundane reality and describe my inner worlds with words, except that I feel and believe that what I’m doing has an indefinite meaning and is worth doing. I am convinced of the value of my work, not to be confused with profitability. Speaking briefly, I am trying to understand why I express myself by taking photos of Warsaw’s streets and writing texts. I feel I should do it. I think I have a talent for it and should cultivate it here, on the www.adammazek.com website.
Undoubtedly, I do not know what would be the best solution for you, my Dear Friend, regarding expressing yourself.
Follow your gut and intuition. Do not trust me. Trust yourself. I express myself because I desire to do it. I accumulate my thoughts. Then, I crystalize them via written words. I plan to do it until the end of my life or unless my health will let me do it. I love to walk, contemplate, and take pictures of everything I see in my mundane surroundings. This process brings me immense joy and fulfillment. While doing it, I write down my thoughts, insights, and ideas as inspiration.
Later, I come back to them while writing subsequent texts. The truth is that I love to discuss and argue with my thoughts from the past. I often come back to them to see if something changed or if I can improve something. But why do I do it? I try to find an answer in almost every text, but I simply do not know. Luckily, I do not have to know everything happening around me.
