What I want out of life is to take in everything I can and capture the moments, so when I have the time to reminisce, I would be able to feel everything all over again.
Even in between hectic tests schedule, I want to capture the stress and how chaotic my life is right now. I do have the tendency to want so much, and even plan to bite too much more than I can chew. But it's okay, I guess. I have a big mouth and a lot of appetite for life. I am young and I believe it's high time I experience it all.
Life is too short, right?
So here's what I captured at last weekend's Java Jazz festival.
I only got to see 2 real shows, but it was plentiful.
The passion for music, brings people together. People of all shapes and sizes, no matter what race they are.
I was one of the enthusiasts. For the people I was going to watch, I was willing to stand ion my tiptoes all night just to feel, how it is to be part of the music they're so passionate about.
The stench that filled the air didn't matter, as well as how crowded it was.
For a few tens of minutes, the stabbing pain in my stomach was gone. I wasn't sleep deprived. I was just an adoring fan and spectator. The passion for the moment overcame the pains I had. Sure, at times my hands felt sore from holding up my phone and tiptoeing just to get a blurry, distant picture of them. But all that mattered that moment was that I captured and lived it.
After the show finished, my legs were sore, even my back hurted. (And I am just a teenager)
Java Jazz, or any concert for that matter, was not only a festival to celebrate the musicians and the music. But also to celebrate the musicians' passion AND the passion of the music lovers. We may not speak the same language, but the music speaks for us. Connecting us to one another.
