RE: Black & White 35mm Film Photography and Milestones
If I learnt one thing these 27 years alive on this planet is that doing what you love for a living is the path everyone should choose. We are bombarded with what we must and must not do everyday and at the end of the day we forget who WE are and where WE want to go. We walk paths other people told us to and that's bad.
My dream goal is to be able to travel across the globe and film skate clips for a living. Steem is the place I learnt that dreams can come true! I hope you achieve your goals and make your dreams come true man.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Part of why I'm a bit of a late bloomer is because of how stupidly stubborn I can be when it comes to pursuing things. I refused to go back to education before or get a regular job because I was making stupid amounts of money trading FX and stocks. I got bored of that though, I longed for something more and creative.
My dream goal isn't too different to yours, but I want to be a travel cinematographer; travelling the world and just shooting whatever for whoever my client is. It sounds like it's incredibly ambitious, but if you can get a portfolio going, it isn't too difficult to both attract clients and contact them yourself.
I realised this from a much younger age. I hated the thought of getting a dead-end job and just working to survive. I still do. It baffles me that many are so content with working a job that ultimately leads to nowhere and offers no real sense of development and exploration. I can't imagine myself in, for example, retail or an office job. I'd lose my sanity.
Me too man. I tried regular office jobs and just like you these things are not for me. I want to be outside, explore the world and use my creativity into things I love doing like skateboarding filming and editing!
I know there is a chance that my dreams can come true as I also know that nothing comes easy, you got to work for it so let's just go all-in and live the life we dream about!
P.S Thanks for the support bro, just saw your upvotes. Means a lot!
Take care and have fun yo!!!
The closest I've been is applying for a retail job, getting accepted, and then never turning up. I sent them an email and said something came up and moved across the country. Funnily enough, I did end up moving across the country for the sake of it. It was an interesting experience.
If you ever find yourself in London, let me know. It would be fun to hang out and shoot some shit. I don't skate, but I'd be completely open to shooting some stuff. Alternatively, @irial, my girlfriend, is from Barcelona so I should be spending even more time there. So if you're there at some point again and coincidentally I am too, same thing.
I may be a bit drunk now, but really: fuck this world. Fuck the limitations it brings. It should only serve as more motivation to move forward and pursue your interests. There's no point in letting it win. It's only worth trying harder and harder, refusing to accept any form of loss.

Thanks for the motivation man. I totally agree! Even though my English are not that great you really understood what I am talking about! Fuck the limitations as you said.
Gonna let you know for sure if I am visiting London or Barca. Been to Barca twice so the 3rd time will be the last one. I will never leave!Hahaha. I love Barcelona!
Thanks for the awesome conversation man, really enjoyed it. We will talk again soon. It's time for me to sleep now, I am feeling super-exhausted! Have a great night bro.
