I love storms.
I love to stare at them.
Because they recall strong and deep sensations of danger.
I like to observe seagulls while they fly against a strong wind, and challenge it with their peerage.
Yesterday I saw a lot of them that was doing so, and the wing was amazingly strong.
But I hadn’t the time to take pictures.
I hate this things, I would like to have more free time but in this period I can’t stop.
Never.
However I was walking slow, challenging the wind myself, and letting it put away my bad thoughts, and my past.
What I like of this period of my life is that for the first time I’m starting to live the present, and sometimes the future.
That’s important.
For my whole life I was stuck in my past.
Depressed people lives in their past.
Neurotic and Anxious people lives the present.
Maybe one day I will become a happy person?
I’m starting to look into the future.
And I like to do so.
I also like what I see.
When I think about my future, now, I look at the sky and I dip into the light.
I leave the sun impress my eyes, like a film while taking a picture with a photo-camera.
The sensation is good, and gets my eyes dazzled for some seconds.
While I close my eyes, I walk straight, blind.
And I start to elaborate the information that the sun gave me.
While doing so, I try to decipher the symbols my dazed eyes’ background.
And in this moment, I see my future.
Some weeks ago, I was thinking about how much I am changing.
Thinking about myself some years ago it seemed a Revolution to me.
The point is… that I’m always myself.
I’m not changed.
Thinking about myself, some years ago…
I’m just more determined.
I know what I want.
And I’m ready to do anything to obtain it.
Now I know where, for me,
is the right place to be,
in the right moment.
And I feel ready to shoot.
Isn’t that what I already wrote about photography?
Doesn’t life itself work like that?
In the end…
… I love the quiet sunsets after a storm.

We all change irremediably, still being our usual selves. I believe in the soul, everyone has its own; and you can modify yourself in every possible way, but your soul stays the same, ’till the end of the times.
I’m glad you like what you see in your present, and I hope you’ll reach every appointed goal.
Hold on.
