It's All About Moments
12:12:00
Emily Dickinson once wrote ‘Forever is composed of Nows’. Now is just a moment, one of hundreds and thousands of other moments. Moments. That’s what I love. They all add up, and create this beautiful compilation which reminds you what life is all about. Today I want to reflect on a bunch of them, with a hope that they will give you a little insight into my world. If you have already checked ‘About’ section at the top of the page, you will know that my name is Brigita and I’m 20 years old. I just want to get this boring part out of the way, so I will just quickly say that I come from a small town in a small country called Lithuania. However, for the last two and a half years I’ve been living between Germany and UK. I am studying Film&TV in Wales, and will be graduating this summer. Probably like any other student, I have no clue what I am doing after that, so I cannot tell you much about any future plans, but one thing is for sure - I will follow my heart.
Do you ever look back to think how much you’ve changed since you were a child? Obviously, I am not talking about the physical changes, but rather how much you grew up as a person and how your personality has evolved. It’s definitely amazing to think about it, we lose some and we get some, but some things stay with us forever. For example, for as long as I remember I have always been a dreamer. Even through the roughest times, I believed that no power is stronger than the power of will, and that although you cannot change the direction from which the wind blows, you can always adjust your sails and reach whatever your soul yearns for. Anyway, I am not here to talk about values, beliefs and all those things, because I think we are all quite different when it comes to that.
Philosophical
rambles aside, I guess I was a pretty normal kid. You know, going
through different style phases in order to find myself, trying to fit
in, in the groups of people I thought were the people I liked and so on.
But when I was really being true to myself, I was obsessed with
anything artsy. Since I was like 10 or 11, I was always annoying my
neighbors and asking if I can borrow their camera for a day (we couldn’t
afford one of our own at that time), and then I would just go out and
take pictures of anything and everything, including one too many
selfies. We always had little shoots with my best friend taking pictures of each other, so I have
always been in love with capturing moments. Also, I listened to Avril
Lavigne A LOT, played guitar and sang my little heart out at a school band or whenever I was
home alone. I also had facial piercings and wrote journals that unfortunately I
don’t have anymore. But you cannot hold on to every single thing, that
was once a part of your life because you need to make room for new beginnings.
AWO Stories, is a new beginning for me. It’s a beginning of new
moments.
Below
are some photos from my teenhood. This article is the longest one I
wrote yet, but you know what they say - pictures speak louder than
words.

Deleteso pretty indeed, I remember you years ago with that emo-ish style and strange look in your eyes, felt like you got hurt by someone but deep inside you were so warm and beautiful. I hope I wasn't wrong and you're really happy right meow :)
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
DeleteYou're totally right. I wasn't in a very good place a few years ago, mainly due to being in the wrong environment, but life is so much better now. But there are certain things you just have to go through in life and some things just have to happen I guess. Anyway, thanks for this lovely comment and for being able to see what's deeper:)
With Love,
Bri
