AUGUST RUSH
And
we shall slightly explore the august wardrobe, August, in its heavy rains and
scorching sunshine. What to do, what to do with August.
In this beautifully both sunless and
brightly burning sunshine filled month, it would be easy for me to say august
has the best weather in my yearly cycle of seasonal staples. From the thick
knitted cardigans and woollen jackets to simple cotton and chiffon blouses, the
perfect indulgence of both shows how August is an accommodator of all (There's no
wonder here about why it is my birth month!)
Nevertheless, I still get the weather
prediction wrong sometimes and wear knits under a sweltering sun, needless to
say to save myself from embarrassment, I sniff my way through blank stares and
blame my cold for this fault. Hence lesson here is to never try to replace your
legit local weather forecast, they’ll always get it right more times than they
are wrong. But yea... we’re still learning.
This month has started on a very busy and
productive note for me. I have worked with some amazing people in the industry,
made some remarkable friends and I’m currently trying my hands on some creative
directing and independent photography work. So, whether I like it or not,
August seems to have me on a rush. Whether it’s literally running from class to
a shoot under a drizzle or trying to submit an over-due assignment because I’ve
been so caught up with the runnings of a freelancer. But really, it’s the
good kind of rush.
I feel we live in a time where young people
depend so much on validation from people who do not fully understand the
dealings of what it means to be a youth in our time, to find some form of
security for your future amidst so much unemployment. I admit that not everyone
can actually multitask their lives, chasing a lot of the things they want at
the same time, but for those who think they can I believe it is worth the shot.
There is never a more precise time to be sure of your youthful energy than now,
the ability you have to chase dreams, to not settle. Because trust me there
will come a time, a couple decades from now down the road when you’d wish you
still had this rush. But just like August, we only get it for a season.
I’m currently at
a loss for the amount of responses I received on my last note on being candid
about changes here and well, what to do, what to do with so much opinions…

You got those words right and its amazing,sometimes I just get reluctant to take up some responsibility as a youth(its truth when you said the best time is now)but I don't seem to get even a bit of confidence just end up with this crazy mood swing but hey!!I just figured out that am so much in need to used the word "multi tasking and good rush" to described something for myself too if you know what I mean.

I have a goal but I don't know how to get to where I want to be admist this mist of doubt that beclouds my sense of judgment....any advise as to why I don't get the rush to push out of my comfort zone now?

Hi there, believe me this is something a lot of us can identify with. Sometimes we relax because we think we have it all figured out, comfortable where we are or scared of disappointment. But having it figured out isn't making it happen, being comfortable isn't exactly being where you want to be and disappointment is a process we undergo to achieve success. I think it is important that in order to achieve a goal we must give it all we have and want it badly enough to live for it. I hope this helps, ❤ E
