it was only a matter of time

2025/1/11 Edited to

... Read moreChange is an essential aspect of human experience, often met with both resistance and acceptance. From personal development to global events, the inevitability of time leads to transformations that shape our identities and relationships. Understanding that it was only a matter of time before changes occur can foster resilience and adaptability. By embracing the journey, we can find peace in the unknown and gain valuable insights. Considering popular themes in change, such as the transition in career paths or the evolution of societal norms, allows us to reflect on how these shifts impact our lives. Additionally, trends such as mindfulness emphasize the importance of being present during these transitions, promoting emotional well-being amid uncertainty. In essence, acknowledging that change is a constant can empower us to navigate life’s fluctuations with grace and intention.

Only know by trying
We usually don't know whether our attempt at something was good until after we've made it. This is much the same in every area of our lives. This means that the actual attempt is the most important thing we can do. And of course not shaming or judging ourselves after no matter the result.

Several camera lenses, including one with 'Canon' branding, are stored inside a clear plastic container. The image features the question 'Does gear really matter?' overlaid, discussing the importance of equipment for content creation.
A camera lens, lens caps, and a lens mount adapter are displayed on a patterned surface. Text highlights 'The essentials' like good lighting and audio, and 'Downsides of not having decent gear' such as frustration and easy breakage.
A furry microphone, a camera lens, and a mechanical keyboard are arranged on a desk. The text discusses 'Having decent gear,' noting it can make things easier but also be overwhelming, leading to underutilization or not shooting content.
Does gear really matter?
Some days I want to say no, gear does not matter at all. But it’s not that simple. If you only have your phone to make content for example, (which many people do and build careers off of!) then you should be set and nobody would want to buy a dedicated camera. It just doesn’t make sense at that poi
