Time Games are Mind Games
I can't believe it's already been two weeks since I last posted. Time is defeating me, the other day I took some time to make a calendar to map out the rest of my time in Sydney and it's winding down. It's sad for me to think about leaving before I feel like I've 'conquered' a place. The good thing though is that I'll have 5 times the experiences and memories I have now by the time I move on to another city.
It's crazy to think retrospectively about where one is in life. It's so easy to just get caught up in routine and not know what to do with yourself when you have free time. Sometimes it's just a matter of doing it, even if you end up doing it by yourself. So I took a few leaps this past weekend. I started by buying tickets to climb the Harbour Bridge then I researched and made a list of everything there was that I wanted to do. So far among it are Sydney events like the International Food Festival, Sculpture by the Sea (that happens along the beaches), Taronga Zoo, Luna Park, Aquarium, Blue Mountains Aboriginal Walkabout (IN LOVE), Koala Hospital, Sydney Ghost Tours, Byron Bay, Hunter Valley and museums. I even found a contemporary artists' outlet, which is AMAZING, they have open stage nights called Artists' Anonymous and I may have found it in time to do one of my performance pieces.
It's funny how much I can't lose art, how much I need it in order to keep my sanity and happiness. Even if it's just painting or dabbling, something inside me glimmers at the thought of walking into a hardware store and walking out with materials or just the fulfillment I get from doing my own work and getting completely lost in it. Every time I get worried I may lose it, it somehow finds its way back to me in order to make itself relevant in the realm of my existence.
I'm interested to see the person I become and see how I unravel this path that I create. Whatever it is I do, I hope I never lose sight of my potential and my ability to continue growing and if I succeed to succeed with humility. More than anything, I hope I never stop dreaming and at the end of the day when I look back on my life I know that no matter what tomorrow brings - today I was proud to be me.
