Many people associate traveling with looking for yourself. For me, however, it's not about finding yourself, but about losing yourself. I've never felt happier than in those moments when you don't care at all about who you are, what you look like, what your past is like... but there is only complete immersion in the process. For example, when you climb a mountain. Or dance. Or write. Or listen to the birds. When you completely lose yourself in movement, music, creativity, or simply contemplating nature.
Sometimes when I shoot my documentaries, for me there are only my characters, the shot, action that is happening around. The one holding the camera... just dissolves in this, but then the Film appears.
Many are so worried that they will not be able to find their true selves and are in an eternal race, trying to build something more out of themselves. But what if happiness is not in looking for yourself, but in losing yourself? Being lost is a great privilege. Only those who are on a leash can not be lost. Don't be afraid of being lost, I'm with you 🫶🏻
