Young Heart.

How is it that we always have something to write every week when life has been pretty much mundane lately? How do we get creativity/ ideas flowing just for the sake of completing a task before the given date? I dont know how I do it all the time, but I just do. Often I like to question why do we do the things that we do, and why do we allow our minds to cave in to such stuff. oh god. But yeah, 3 years back, I was told by one of my lecturers that I had to compete in a prestigious design competition called The Crowbar Awards. I couldn’t come up with an idea within the designated timeframe, but a day before it was due, I reluctantly got something and submitted it.

What I thought was an honest pursuit of my feelings that was written in a form of  a poem, and reluctantly giving it to the panel of judges to read it actually scored me a bronze medal in the Crowbar Awards under Narrative Photography.  Yes, it’s still embarrassing, but hey. I got myself an award. HAHAHAHAHA

“Young Heart
With every passing moment,
I wished you were here.
Oh how I miss those times where we got lost in each other’s eyes.
You made me feel like I could fly
You would say you loved me ,
a thousand times over the candlelight.
Never knew , our adventures could ever end.
Battle scarred, I’m still reeling for what’s lost.
But an end is an end no matter how much we rewrite it.

Fate will take it from here.”

 

The entire concept of this revolves around young love, yknow the typical sh**. But what was interesting about this was that, I decided to cut out silhouettes of people instead of finding real ones “duh, cause it was last minute”. ( Improvise as it’s best!)  Feel that it was something that was honest and something that I actually love doing, even though it was quite tedious cutting up the characters and finding perfect locations to shoot them.  But yeah, do check them out 🙂 I’m still pretty much doubting on the fact that the poem actually played a part in this, but i think the visuals saved me an award 😉 Anyway, my point of this post is that, just do whatever you are told to do, you’ll never know what you’re capable of doing and who knows maybe you’ll be recognized for your hard work and patience one day. So press on, write your blogs even though you feel defeated after reading 5.2’s.
