Dear my best friend,
The scary vision of the future still obsesses me
and makes me paralyzed until now.
Last time, you told me:
“Remember the first time you grabbed your camera and shot photos.
You didn’t care anything about what others thought about you, right?
You shot just because you want to do it, didn’t you?
Why can’t you just shoot like this?
Life will be easier
if we don’t compare ourselves with others, isn’t it?” I still remember what you said and think you are right.
So today I decided to go out and shot something I like.
Magically, a thrill of shooting photo came back to me
and helped me take a few good images.
It relieved a lot of my anxiety.
That would never happen
if I keep staying home and thinking.
This overthinking may kill me
if I let it get stuck in my head longer.
Maybe, sometimes the best way to do something
is not by thinking too much,
but by doing it without any reason.
That’s the lesson I’ve learned today.
