This text won’t be about a movie about Michael Jackson entitled “This Is It.”

I wrote this text on the 2nd of December, 2023, after walking and doing street photography for two hours wearing summer clothes when the temperature was -2 degrees Celsius (28.4 degrees Fahrenheit).

I do not believe it is possible to force creativity.

It’s a mystery to me, but each new day brings a fresh idea, a new spark of inspiration. The joy of this discovery is what keeps me going, always eager to see what the next day will bring. Speaking shortly, “New day = new idea.”

You are what you read; read well.

I look for happiness in myself.

Marcus Aurelius and Marcel Proust, two literary giants, mentioned ice baths in their worldwide famous works.

Today (I wrote this text on the 25th of November, 2023), while walking and doing street photography, I was not thinking about pain.

Undoubtedly, Warsaw is an endless inspiration.

By reading my blog, you will know everything and nothing about me.

Escapism is not for me.

Today (I wrote this text on the 21st of November, 2023), I will write about the healing power of street photography and how this sportive and creative activity can improve one’s mental health.

I am here to be, to exist, to experience, and to contemplate.

On the 19th of November, 2023, I had the privilege of walking with my beloved Dad in the healing forest in Brok. The weather was a chilly 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), but the warmth of our shared experience far outweighed the cold.

This text will be controversial. Still, I believe we weren’t born for convenience, well-being, and fortune.

A few days ago (I wrote the current text on the 18th of November, 2023), I noticed one of Warsaw’s restaurant advertising slogans. It sounded like “Eat, drink, live.” When I spotted it, I changed it in my mind to “Eat, drink, sleep.”

Nulla dies sine linea is a Latin phrase, “no day without a line.” 

While being in the flow of doing street photography, I am happy, focused, confident, and relaxed.

I won’t write about how to get closer to God in today’s post (I wrote it on the 14th of November, 2023).

I read to know the world and ultimately know myself. The act of reading is not just a means of acquiring knowledge, but a journey of self-discovery.

Today (I wrote this text on the 12th of November, 2023), I will try to explain why clickbait isn’t everything.

The more texts I write, the more I see I do not have a specific and favorite time to write.

Yesterday (I wrote this text on the 10th of November, 2023), I told myself to follow a sunny path while walking and doing street photography.

While walking and doing street photography on the 9th of November, 2023, an old man driving a car honked twice, smiled at me, and gave me a thumbs-up.

I often use the phrase “Back to the main topic” in my text.

I don’t want to be busy with everything without doing anything. That’s why I joyfully manage the www.adammazek.com blog, a platform that allows me to share my passion for street photography and writing.

It is natural to feel hunger, a signal from our body that it needs nourishment, not satiety, which is the feeling of fullness after a meal. Fasting helps us understand and appreciate the difference between these two states.

Happy is the one who feels satisfied with the current reality.

Today (I wrote this text on the 2nd of November, 2023), I will try to explain why writing for myself is more fulfilling than writing for others.

With each step, my soul seems to turn inwards, a process that intensifies with every walk.

Undoubtedly, I am the average man. You are also the average man, my Dear Friend.

Writing is not just a means of communication but also a mental exercise that stimulates creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. It’s like a workout for the brain, keeping it active and agile.

The more I note, the more I hope to write until I die.

The longer I live in the capital of Poland, the more I walk on Warsaw’s streets, and the more I see the biggest city in Poland is my neverending inspiration.

On the 23rd of October, 2023, I decided (not for the first time in my life) to google the phrase: “Warsaw Street Photography.” What did I see?

In a world where everyone seeks a cozy, warm place full of food and stimuli from smartphones and Netflix, go the opposite.

Where do I see masterpieces each day?

I do not consider works created by AI to be meaningful and crucial.

Publishing one post daily for over a year has been a testament to my passion and commitment to art and creativity. It’s been a journey of self-expression.

This text’s title refers to one of the most magical Beatles songs, ‘Happiness Is A Warm Gun.”

Today (I wrote this text on October 16th, 2023), I was walking in sandals at 8 degrees Celsius (46.4 degrees Fahrenheit).
