Whoa, man, I almost slipped on that damp mossy stone, should've watched my step better, huh? Guess that’s a kind reminder, nature is giving me, the 'City Girl', huh? You'd think after all these years, I'd know better. But nope. I'm still the same old GoldenMiocola, always rushing headlong into the unknown.
Woke up early today, before even the first light of dawn had a chance to peek over the horizon. The world was still asleep, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat. That sorta peaceful silence you only get in the woods, y'know? So yeah, went out, got some good shots of the morning fog weaving through the trees. You could feel the wilderness seeping into those shots.
Lunched on some berries I found, were they blueberries? No idea, didn’t die though, so that’s something. This is the sorta freedom I crave. No schedules, no deadlines. Just me, my camera, and the open world.
Ever thought of how a camera is like a time machine? Nah, not in the sci-fi sense. More like, each click is a frozen moment in time. Just think about it. It's like, with every shutter click, I'm capturing a moment that will never come back. Kinda cool, and scary too. Is that why I do it? Fear of missing out on something? I dunno.
Oh, and met this deer in the evening, y'know. She was just standing there, in that beautiful light filtering through the canopy, like some spirit of the forest. So stunning it took my breath away. Could've been a great shot. But I... I just couldn’t. It felt like a violation of some sacred pact. I just stood there, drinking in the moment. Guess sometimes, you have to choose between living the moment and capturing it.
Feels like I'm constantly on the run, doesn't it? I mean, running from what, exactly? A normal job? A stable life? Sometimes, it's as if I'm that deer, alert and ready to dart at the first hint of danger. Aaah, too deep for a simple mind like me.
Whoa, the fire's dying. Gotta get more wood. Ugh, and the mosquitoes! It’s like I’m their version of a fast-food chain. Should’ve packed that repellent, I keep forgetting stuff like this. Y'know what they say, 'All those who wander are not lost, but they sure are forgetful.’
Ah, almost forgot to change the camera batteries. The night sky here is just so... so pure. No city lights, just the stars, in all their glory. The camera can never capture its full majesty, but I'm gonna try anyway.
Shooting stars, oh yeah! Made a wish, can't tell you what. Superstition? Maybe, but who cares? Wish I could show you the photos now. Guess you’ll have to wait till I get back to civilization.
Yeah, right. Civilization. Am I really looking forward to going back? Meh, gotta sleep now. Big day tomorrow, gotta chase the sunrise. So tired, I could fall asleep standing. Heh, wouldn’t be the first time...
Okay, guess I've rambled enough. Time to call it a day, or night, whatever. Time's a weird concept out here. Ah, one thing's for sure, though, never a dull moment in this wilderness. You should try it sometime. But for now, lights out.
