I’ve learned that the way we see the world is the hardest to transform, the last to evolve. And that’s because we need to unlearn many filters, placed by others or by ourselves, every day. You need to stop judging what you see. You need to get out of your routine and choose those places that inspire you, stop when something tells you to, surround yourself with people who understand and support you. Look carefully around and you will see today whatever you were not ready to recognize yesterday. You don’t have to be somewhere in particular to take the best photo. You are somewhere already. We are surrounded by signs waiting to be discovered. Fragments of the answers we seek lie everywhere. Each film frame is a piece of an infinite jigsaw puzzle, the key to which we may never find. But the journey remains just as beautiful.
