rainy Sunday in Lisbon and ‘’Why won’t you post this to your feed?’’

The strength of ‘’not for work = not for feed’’ in me is still so great that I don’t even think about posting stuff like this to my main feed. Even now, when I’ve decided to concentrate more on sharing my own vision of everything (and I really do shoot everything), I still think that my shots are not good enough, or they don’t fit into my Instagram grid (build a bridge and get over it, I know).

So yeah, here are photos from my yesterday’s walk in one of my favorite parts of Lisbon

Hello, world. I have a story.

So, I lost something some time ago. Not quite "myself" but definitely something that belongs to it.
And I've been looking for it since. 
It is kind of "me", or "feeling like me" or, you know, "THAT PART", heh?
Some days are better than others, and the feeling is like when you've forgotten the word in all the languages you speak, but it's here, on top of your tongue.

Do you know this "universe hears you" thing? I like how it sometimes works, so I asked for a human. And I met a human.
"If it's not working, then it is time to upgrade "it". Come on" said on our first call, and she gave me a task to "take a series of self-portraits in a mirror".

It took me a week to make those eight photos. They were made on different days, and this is basically my week. This is how I was trying to catch my state and "me" all week. This post is not chronological, but the second photo was taken on the first day, and the first & fourth were taken on the last. Can you see?
The last time I did something similar to those photos was in July 2022, you know.

There is no ending (yet?) to this story because now it seems endless. But maybe it'll be fun to continue trying less silent. So, hello once again
