i'm just behind your camera

I appreciate Robyn for asking how am I doing...It’s not everyday that you encounter this question.

I recently promised myself to ask this question to at least 1 person everyday. (How are you?, how are you doing? or how's it going?)  When I get to chat someone I don't see/talk to often I make it a point to say "Hope you're doing fine/okay..”  I'm so far loving the feeling.

In the train while approaching home today, I thought of writing another blog, I thought of this while listening to Paolo Nutini's song... Million faces.  A part of the song goes “Oh a million faces pass my way.  Oh they're all the same, nothing seems to change anytime I look around”.

I always tell myself that every friendships I have are temporary. But don't get me wrong I will always care for my friends, that thing is permanent. Although it’s hard to be there for them all the time and letting them know I always care is never easy. All I know is that memories will remain. I’m happy with the friendships I have, I am enjoying every bit of time I spend with them I’ll surely treasure all of those. It doesn't matter if it’s just passing.

While writing this, Paulo Coelho posted a forum. It is a question on who supports you? And it’s so impressive he answered this by showing who is behind his camera (I’ve been wondering for a long time who helps him record whenever he posts a video in YouTube) I was surprised to know that there’s really a camera-person who’s helping him. I find it amusing. There are things that can support us (like tripod) money or material things but more importantly, in life, things that money can’t buy are what we really need to stand and to have strength from until the end of each day.

To rephrase it, he asked this question, “Who is behind your camera?” and my answer:  It’s my family that supports me in everything that I do because I love them and they love me too . My family gives me strength.

I find this forum very sensible; I always take picture of my family and friends, people who are important to me and I am there to support them too when they need me.  I also appreciate those who take my pictures; literally they are the people behind my camera... (And I hope too, they are there to support ME.)
