My whole life I hated goodbyes … but I have to realize that goodbyes are a part of this life. People come and go …
Today I said goodbye with tears in my eyes and a burning sensation in my heart, but with a feeling of serenity as well.
In the last few days, I met someone from the other side, I got the change to talk to who is supposed to be my enemy, but he is not even close to be an enemy.
I never thanked him for that chance, so I will take this opportunity to thank him, for giving me some hope, just a little beam of light shining on my dream to make me believe again.
He told me about a song, which make me feel a bond with the other side, a bond that was destroyed through war, a humanity bond.
The song is for Matisyahu, it is called “one day”
sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I’m breathing
then I pray
don’t take me soon
cause I am here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it’ll all turn around
because
all my life I’ve been waiting for
I’ve been praying for
for the people to say
that we don’t wanna fight no more
they’ll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
it’s not about
win or lose
we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but don’t let it faze you no way (no way)
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it’ll all turn around
because
all my life I’ve been waiting for
I’ve been praying for
for the people to say
that we don’t wanna fight no more
they’ll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
one day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down with the hate
one day we’ll all be free
and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom like
one day x4
all my life I’ve been waiting for
I’ve been praying for
for the people to say
that we don’t wanna fight no more
they’ll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
it made me wonder, if someday “one day” will come, I lived my whole life waiting for that “one day”.
Photography, changed the way I saw the world, I always cherished pictures, and enjoyed looking at random pictures, and I was always fascinated how a photo can save a memory, how it can capture the unseen, how it can deliver a message, and the more I got into it, I started to see the world behind the camera.
See buildings as perspectives, and look at everything considering how I can take a unique shot, and before I knew it was able to answer the question that people often asked and I wasn’t able to answer before “what will you not leave the house without?” and the answer is my camera.
Through photography I was able to challenge myself, and to approach other people, mostly through portrait, to visit places I never visited and to notice things I never noticed, to not care about what others thought, I was sleeping down on the ground to be able to shoot without caring what people around me were thinking, cuz all I cared about was to get my shot.
This year, I’ve been moving around in public transportations like services and buses, and I am surprised how much going in services made my personality stronger, I was always paranoid by trusting some stranger who I have no idea how he drives to get me home, I am not paranoid that much anymore, and everyday, something new happened, you hear the people stories in services and you see new things everyday, that was fun to me.
And lately I’ve been walking home; walking made me see something new everyday, you never notice your hometown till you walk slowly in it.
