The stories I wove for myself

When I was younger, I hyper fixated myself on a lot of things, perhaps to escape a burden with no form. They were never anything significant if I must say, well perhaps significant would not be the right word to explain it, I would say sometimes they weren't physical, no tangible presence, mostly in my head. 

My mind was even more creative in the sense that I would create stories for each new fixation, build a lore for it, I must say, despite the seventh sense in me insinuating that I probably was not so normal for my unbecoming antics, it did make me into the creative I am today.  

One Item I remember being fixated on, was the Nikon D5. You see, It wasn't because I was well versed in the qualities of the camera, or anything,  it was more so that I saw a picture it had taken, and perhaps that was how I knew I had a tiny love for photography. Looking back now, Maybe I just liked flowers or maybe the camera was too good But that is Far from the topic on hand.  For the next months of my life, I built a story around the Nikon in my head, one time I was a famous Photographer, owing my success to the camera, next time I was an expert in the curation  Of the camera, some Tech savvy genius, But perhaps my most distinct lore of the camera was the one where I was lead marketer,  if I remember distinctly, I must have written a story for it, somewhere in the blue colored notebook I used as my Makeshift journal and poetry book currently collecting dust somewhere in the box where I have heaps of all my old books. Although the memories of this lore remains fresh in my head, The contents of the story and the tagline I wrote in the draft for the adverts are not necessarily the most accurate, but I remember them being as captivating, if adults' praises count, But it should,  afterall I was a pretty smart 

kid. 

I remember the script went somewhere along the lines of there being beautiful flowers, a family, some lovers, tears, laughter,  The writing for the video was something along this line ' sometimes we laugh, some times we cry,  other times we get good news, other times we don't,  one thing that keeps us  going is our loved ones, and the home we have, With them we smile the brightest' .  I may not have gotten each line accurately because i remember it being almost a page long, but I do remember the end of it vividly, " this is why you should get the nikon d5, to make every treasured smile a memory". 

It pains me physically that I am not within a hands reach from that journal, but it also amuses me how creative my hyper fixation made me.  My story with the Nikon did not end at being a marketer, I probably lived other lives through it,  But one thing It did leave me with was a brighter spark for the creative world I am not immersed in.
