My true friends know what my addictions are. Now I’m going to share one with you. If you ask me, I’ll tell you that I have a great personality; I help people; I am kind; I enjoys the good people sitting together making the world a better place; and some other good things about me. My friends won’t. I’m not blaming them. It’s just in their nature. When someone asked them their opinion about me, they told that person that I’m a good guy, but then they started pointing out my character in not such a pleasant way. One of them went like this:
“Oh, him? He’s a great guy. He’s kind and all, but he’s sometimes too kind. He helps people too much; solves most of the problems we encounter; not very talkative; not social; but he’s a good friend”
I don’t get it! Why did they say “but”. Maybe they are right about it. But when someone asks about a person, I don’t point out their “flaws” at first. Instead I start telling how good they are in life; what I know that they like. And then I tell the person that if they want to know more, they can just go to the person they are asking about and talk with him/her/it. Of course, I am not talking about random strangers asking about my friends. I’m talking about someone who we know asking about a friend of mine. Sine I don’t get friends with just anyone (because I’m picky), I know many things about my friends. The judgement on the character to say whether it is good or not, is not something I would discuss with anyone.
Anyway, I’m going to put that aside and talk about something else. A friend of mine had pointed out to me that I shouldn’t have become a computer geek. Instead I should have gone and became a director of a movie. Why? Glad you asked! Because every movie I made two years ago was accepted by the group and was chosen as the best movie of that period.
Another friend of mine told me I should have become a photographer, because the photos I too were “artistic”. Some others have also had the same opinion. So I’m glad that my work is something everyone enjoys.
I was having this very very small chat with someone I know. She was looking for an idea for a video. I gave her a simple idea. The same time I was telling her about it, I realized that I have postponed all my productions since two years ago! Then I was thinking of what went wrong that made me stop making movies. I thought about the social life problems that I encountered; the courses I had to do in university; the university projects I was involved in; the personal projects of mine and many other things I did during this period.
Afterwards I told myself that I have to pick it up and continue it starting from today. That’s exactly the moment I remembered the reason I stopped filming and taking photos. It was not because of problems in my social life or the projects I was doing. Nobody disappointed me either in anyway that would impact this matter. It was a simple reason. Perhaps too simple. I basically didn’t have a camera anymore…
For one year after that, I searched to find the most suitable camera for my type of work. Being a student who is trying his best to finish his studies so he can get out in the world, find a job, make money and create a steady life for himself and his future family, it wasn’t the correct move to spend money on something so expensive. So after all the searches, I let it go and here I am now. No movies made; no high goals achieved; no income…
Still paying the university only because I am registered. Right now I’m waiting for my supervisor to finish reading my thesis report. In the meantime, I’m finishing a couple of other reports for a few other projects I did (because I was bored).
Well, i guess that’s it for now. Nothing horrible has happened… I guess… So that’s good…
Wish me luck.
