This year, I’ve participated in several courses and learned new things. In March, I took an entrepreneurial studies course, and recently, I’ve taken courses in photography and social media marketing. In those things, you’re never ready. There is always something new to learn. Life is a learning process. Even if you know things, repetition is never bad. If you want to learn something new, being interested in it helps. I tried to learn coding when I studied web design, but that wasn’t fun because I never seemed to learn. I didn’t like learning it because of that. It’s a waste of time if you can’t learn what is being taught. If you like what you’re learning, things get stuck in your head better.
Being creative has been my thing as far as I can remember. I have never wanted to do anything with building stuff (not anything to do with alabaster or any kind of material). Doing things on a computer and digital things is more for me.
In the lack of sunlight, may I offer you an artificial moon? My city of Turku has a light show called Path of Light that goes along the river. Today, Sunday is the last day. This moon is on one of the bridges. This bridge is close to the city theatre, and they will be having The Adams Family musical next year in the Autumn, so it’s part of the path. The moon showed shadow figures once in a while. The Path of Light was last year, too, but I missed it then. It was a lovely evening walk in these dark times. A shame they don’t keep it longer. It was only for 4 days. It won’t replace the sunlight, but it would have been a little lighter outside.
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
Daily Writing Prompt
Day 7
After my Dad died on February 8 this year, I had at least one positive event to feel optimistic about. I went to see Bryan Adams in concert in Tampere, Finland, on July 5. I bought the ticket before my Dad died, but I never got a chance to tell him. I always said where I was going, whether for education or an event. It probably didn’t matter since my Dad knew little about foreign music anyway. He didn’t mind what was playing on the radio. I got my love for music from my mother, I suppose. When she was young, The Beatles and Elvis was a big thing. My Dad always asked when I went to events or saw a movie what I would see or how it was. Now, I don’t have anyone to tell, and not even on social media people seem to have enough time or care to react. It wouldn’t be the same anyway.
I will see Bryan Adams next year because it was so much fun. He does not only play music but also interacts with the audience. This time, the concert will be in Helsinki, closer to Autumn. Next year, I’ll go to four different concerts. You only live once, so why not fill the vessel of concerts with many events in one year? The first concert is only 85 days away. If this question were asked next year, I would be able to give more positive events than today. One positive event is better than nothing at all, right?
Music is not the only positive event that I’ve attended. I’ve also been to several ice hockey games. They were fun, even if my team lost some of them. The atmosphere is always great, and you see your favourite team play. The latest positive event I attended was in Helsinki, where the photography course I’ve taken had a VIP day on November 25. Even if I’m not an entrepreneur yet, I met many of them. It was nice to see other people for a change. I’ve got a lot of new information about marketing your business: lights and wireless microphones. It was a great day.
As I wrote, the vessel to positive events will continue next year. Who knows what else will happen.
