Pick up the hobby you always wanted to get into. It doesn’t need to be fancy. I shoot on a $30 camera, and it’s about utilizing what’s around you. Your favorite artists didn’t create overnight. For every amazing product theres hundreds of shit ones.

create art. take photos. Don’t expect it to be perfect every time, theres more time than we ever needed to create.
if I remember, I’ll try to share one of my photos a day. Here’s one I took of Snow Strippers in Jaxonvile

KODAK VISION3 500T, 1 hour.
It feels like for a great shot, fortunate circumstances matter more than good preparation. How many times in my life have I planned everything, traveled somewhere, carried equipment a third of my weight, only to produce something mediocre. And here, just a DSLR, a cable, a small tripod with flexible legs, shooting from a rock next to passing cars, while having dinner, and this is the result! However, the moon hadn't risen yet, the sky was clear, and this time we drove 140km away from the city!
Recalling my first terrible shot with star trails from a Zenit camera on film back in 2015, I'm glad to see how far I've come! I hope next time I'll capture something cool in the foreground, or finally manage to take a shot with an astrotracker!
P.S. Take a look at the sky from time to time; it's always beautiful, regardless of the weather or time of day.

You can take a photo of a cathedral from across a plaza, but you might find you like better what you see up close.
Also, look at lots of other photos - I think it helps with developing an eye for what photos can look like (can, not must!).
Take pictures in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low and the light is soft and warm.
Avoid shooting into the sun
Just take lots of photos! You don’t have to worry about buying film, after all. And know that most photographers don’t like 90% of the pictures they take.

I get crushes on people easy.
I sort of imagine a life with someone only after thinking about them a couple times. right now I have about four crushes, but I think it’s my want of a relationship, so so bad.
Equally I do not admit feelings for people. I would rather encourage someone to get in a relationship with someone else than admit my feelings, it’s like tending to an overgrown garden.
