Yesterday the sky was on fire and
I just couldn't resist sharing with you all the photos I took.
I was sitting down, taking shots and listening to my favorite song by White
Lies- A Place to Hide and thought about how sometimes we get so ungrateful with
all the things in our life that it bothers us just to wake up in the morning
because we know how sh** the new day is gonna be. I thought about how blessed I
am to have a roof over my head and my favorite brand of coffee to drink every
morning. Before I did all this I went for a walk around the city with my
headphones on and my Canon in hands in a hunt for some new moments to capture.
As soon as I made a few steps away from my street a nice tourist with his
family asked me if I could take a photo of them with his phone and as I was
shooting, I yelled ''Smile!'' and they all laughed and one old man told me
''Looking at you is making me smile already.'' it made me so happy I just
couldn't stop thinking about it. My walk was really long and as I was returning
home I came across two girls on the square near my home. They had travel
backpacks, one was playing the guitar and the other one sang 'Price Tag' by
Jessie J. They were so cute and happy I couldn't resist stopping, listening to
them for a while and taking a few shots. As I stood there I realized people
were just passing by, noticing them only by little and moving on. Nobody
stopped and allowed these girls to make them happy. They made me happy and they
made me think about them while I was sitting on my roof looking as the sky
burned right above us. I found gratefulness in finding strength to go out
yesterday even thought I was so sooo tired, in meeting these nice people whom
photo I took and nice words they shared with me, and for those girls who played
and with a smile said thanks as I left them a few coins I found in my bag. I
found gratefulness for being alive and having the opportunity to even go out
and have a place I can come back to and call home.. There are endless presents
every day has to offer so just open your heart and see them, they will find you
if you're not to busy constantly complaining about stuff that aren't like you
want them to be. Open your heart. Sea of love, S.
Jučer je nebo
gorilo i jednostavno nisam mogla odoljeti a da s vama ne podijelim sve fotke
koje sam uhvatila. Sjedila sam, fotkala i slušala svoju najdražu
pjesmu od White Lies- A Place To Hide i razmišljala o tome kako ponekada
postanemo toliko nezahvalni sa svim stvarima u svojim životima da nas smeta
kada se uopće moramo probuditi ujutro jer znamo kako grozan će sljedeći dan
biti. Razmišljala sam o tome koliko sam blagoslovljena što imam krov iznad
glave i najdraži okus kave koji pijem svako jutro. Prije ovog sam bila u šetnji gradom sa slušalicama na ušima i Canonom u rukama, u potrazi
za novim trenutcima koje bi mogla uhvatiti. Čim sam napravila par koraka dalje
od svoje ulice, simpatični turist sa svojom obitelji me zamolio mogu li ih fotkati njegovim mobitelom. Dok sam slikala sam viknula ''Osmjeh!'' i svi su
se nasmijali, a jedan stariji čovjek mi je rekao ''Gledanje tebe me već
nasmiješi.'' ovo me toliko razveselilo da nisam mogla prestati razmišljati o tome. Moja
je šetnja bila doista dugačka i dok sam se vraćala doma naišla sam na dvije
cure koje su sjedile na trgu blizu moga stana. Imale su ruksake za putovanja, jedna je svirala
gitaru a druga je pjevala 'Price Tag' pjevačice Jessie J. Bile su toliko slatke
i vesele da nisam mogla odoljeti da stanem, poslušam ih na neko vrijeme i
uhvatim par fotografija. Dok sam stajala tamo sam primijetila da su ljudi samo
prolazili, primjećujući ih samo krajem oka, nastavljajući svojim putem. Nitko
nije stao i dopustio da ih ove cure razvesele. Razveselile su mene i imale su
takav učinak na mene da sam razmišljala o njima dok sam sjedila na krovu
gledajući kako nebo gori iznad nas. Pronašla sam zahvalnost u tome što sam
imala snage izaći van jučer iako sam bila jako umorna, u tome što su se
pojavili ti simpatični ljudi koje sam slikala i udijelili mi koju lijepu riječ
i u tim curama koje su svirale i sa smiješkom se zahvalile dok sam im ubacila
par kuna koje sam pronašla u torbi. Pronašla sam zahvalnost u tome što sam živa
i što uopće mogu izaći van i imati mjesto kojem ću se vratiti i koje ću zvati
dom.. Postoji bezbroj poklona svaki dan ima za ponuditi zato samo otvorite svoje
srce i vidjeti ćete ih, oni će vas pronaći ako niste previše zauzeti stalnim
prigovaranjem oko stvari koje nisu onakve kakve vi želite da budu. Otvorite
svoje srce. More ljubavi, S.
