RE: Black & White 35mm Film Photography and Milestones
Did/do you watch much/anime? I sometimes feel like anime with its ridiculously overaccomplished incredibly young protagonists (admirals of battlecruisers at 10, saving the world at 13, notice how most major characters are 15-17 etc XD) has a lot to answer for with people feeling depressingly underaccomplished after learning how to adult for a few years XD
Least you found your thing, some people get well into middle age before they find their thing and apparently some don't find any things at all D:
Make the most of your opportunity being carried on the back by your friend. One day when you're established you'll then be capable of carrying some other friend that wants to get into film ;D
I have/rarely do. But I never really enjoyed those typical styles. I preferred the older stuff that's a bit more serious.
I'm hoping it doesn't take long to be able to stand up on my own feet and not rely on another. It would also be great to be able to give back and help others get in, in the event that I do manage to become entirely independent.
I read a book called Man's Search for Himself that goes into anxiety, modern society, psychology and how we act the way we do. It goes into how people often live entire lives without really exploring themselves. They reach the end of their lives never knowing who they are, and realise they lived an entire life just chasing social statuses and trying to make others like them. Really opened my mind to a lot of things. Definitely recommend reading it. It doesn't read like a normal psychology book at all. No huge words and complex thinking, just: "Hey, your anxiety is caused by hundreds of years of change. Certain people act like this because of that, and others do this because of that."
