Day One by phmlq

Day One

I haven't been feeling like taking photos at all for a relatively long time. And I still don't feel like it, and most of the time it feels like I don't even want to have my camera in my backpack, which is completely unusual and sufficiently weird to me.

It's not like I haven't had inspiration, it's more like I somehow completely lost all the will to take photos. And I'm not sure if I got back, but recently I've been feeling like I'm looking for an idea, or an impulse, or some inspiration, or something else starting with "i" to get my camera from a shelf. And it didn't come to me.

What actually came to me is an impulse to write, which is also relatively weird cause most of what I've been doing lately is writing. But there was a minor and a major difference between what I'd been writing and what I wanted to write. The minor difference was that instead of Russian I wanted to write in English. Believe it or not, thoughts, ideas and even feelings are different in different languages. I don't know why, but they are, at least for me. The major difference was that instead of stories and articles I wanted to write thoughts. And I wanted not only to write, but to share them.

And since this is the most convenient (if not the only) place I have for things like that, all I needed to start was... to take a photo. So, that's how it all worked out. Hopefully, for the best.

Looking back at these two months I can't say they were full of adventures, but at the same time it feels like a lot happened there. To start, I must say that all homeless kittens I told you about (as well as their mom) found their new homes and it seems they all feel very well.

While I still have a lot to say, I think it's enough for day one (sometimes it feels like all I've been doing my whole life is starting from day one again and again), cause I need to save something for (hopefully 364 consecutive) days to come.
Good to see you back, just the other day I was wondering what happened to you. I always enjoyed your photography

today is the first day of the rest of your life, so there is no time like the present to start again :)

If a photo is what you need to give yourself an opportunity to write then go for it. Whatever gets those creative juices flowing.

I'm glad to see you back. I've been worried about you and I don't even know you. Strange. I'm happy to be the audience for your writing.
