No Excuses

I was just exploring on a cloudy day when I saw this drawn onto the ground with chalk. I have no context for it as it quickly disappeared the next day. It’s not the best photo that I’ve taken but I explored leading lines. I realized that the “mom” part of the photo is out of focus, however, I like that element. Besides that, I am using this photo to remind myself that I need to live better, more focused, and to pursue life the way I want to.

It’s important to live life the way you want without excuses. I haven’t posted in a while but it will never be like that again. I m having a difficult time balancing everything so I’m doing my best to cut out things that don’t matter from my life and sacrificing some of what I love in order to better focus on one thing.

So I must

As I was on my daily walk, I came across some random graffiti most likely from people who worked on the street. I don’t know if they did this on purpose, but this graffiti looks like a happy face to me. Not the best shot but the best shot I could have taken at the time. The message of the shot is to simple smile and find the good things in life to ebjoy.

Got to get out of your own head and open your eyes to the experience of life. I’m adding more responsibility to my plate and somehow I feel more mature. I’m sticking to a schedule as I’ll be busy for the next two days. I am going to be the cameraman/cinematographer for a short film Friday and I have a long walk to go through tomorrow. Then cram to get the required readings for a class before the deadline at 9am on Friday. I can’t say it will be busy but somehow I am enjoying responsibility and actually getting outside more.

Since I’ve been walking 3 miles a day, I feel healthier and happier. I do exercise regularly outside of walking. Its important to exercise for many factors and it’s important to eat right. I’m not always doing the latter so I don’t lose the fat that I want to easier. I’m trying and soon I can finally ture live my words I’m trying my best.

 

Have fun and live how you like,

David

IMG_20180323_123217-01.jpeg Not religious at all but I found this graffiti to be interesting. I like how the shot came out after converting it to black and white. I don’t always showcase graffiti as I don’t want to support something that I don’t understand or is harmful. I found this graffiti to be not harmful so I captured the shot. It’s also an anti-pc statement in a way.

Walked 8+ miles today, I truly pushed myself. Going to be working hard to not fall asleep before I get a few more things done. Going to try to avoid walking as much as possible but I feel like I will be doing the opposite.

Had a lot of fun playing tennis and talking with my friend. We hang out at least once a month and we tend to push ourselves during tennis. We go out to eat and talk about everything from Asians, politics, philosophy to anime and manga. It’s nice to do that once in a while when I need a break from studying and working.

Kick back once in a while,

Love..What it’s all about

To me the key of life is love. We must love what we do, who we are with, and who we are. If this is done properly you will create happiness. You will have the life you might not have wanted but the one you found. It all starts with love. You must love yourself or no one else will. You must love what you do or you will sink been in a personal hell could a 9 to 5. 

My desire is to not drown in a sea of cubicles. I must be creative to live or it’s not a life I want. I crave freedom like the birds soaring above us. I always stood out and was always praised for my creativity and my ability to put effort in when my heart was into the task. 

This is really difficult but its what I must to do to truly be alive. I am having a character building time and trying to pull myself up of all the hate and from cold grip of the darkness that always finds it way back to me. I’m doing my best to replace the hate with love it doesn’t always work but I’m not giving up. 

On a bike ride I caught this ad it appeared to be an uncompleted heart. It was what I needed at the time and took photos from different angles. I instantly knew the title would be about love. 

I’m living the change I want and becoming the man I truly am. 

Go with love,

David
