Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock… The alarm rings, you open your eyes. It takes a few seconds till your mind is aware of your body, of your surroundings. You check the time, open your phone, decide to get up. It’s a new day, a blank page, what are you gonna do with it, what are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for the next sunny day, a hero coming to rescue you, the lottery win you’re dreaming of, better days or till you wake up not feeling tired? Whatever it is: Leave the pause button alone, I don’t want to know about the past, and I’m no fortune teller, so I can’t say a lot about the future, but I do know we have now. So unwrap it like it was candy, swallow it with that mix of excitement, curiosity and fear you eat Bertie Bott’s Beans.
It might be wonderful, it might teach you a sour lesson, but whatever it is, it’s what we have. So ask yourself again and again like Gwen Stefani, “what you waiting for?”. Get up, fall, heal and once again. Go where it feels good or where your curiosity brings you, and you don’t hear loud alarms beeping at least. Do new things, learn to trust yourself more than you trust others and don’t feel bad to waste time lying in the grass, dreaming and staring at the clouds.
Thank you, Artemperature and Karinmiu Photography, for exactly the kind of afternoon I was waiting for, playing with the Goghpack, the first backpack that allows you to collect art prints and change your style every day. Oh, and by the way: If you think this backpack is an awesome idea, go and support their Crowdify so production can start soon and there will be more art in the world.
