Let go...

This blog was originally intended to be a small crib with the pictures and comic strips I have created/create/will create... I had it on my mind for few months, I had set up blogger name for it, I had written many ideas onto a paper... and then I shelved everything.

Under pressure of time I was unable to find a little piece of (peace of) mind to finally sit and do everything I wanted. So I decided to hide it everything until I find some more time to put it all together. Unfortunately, it was not happening and right now I think it is not going to happen anytime in few years. I have so many things to do, there is whole world to explore, there are countless beautiful minds which I want to meet and get known, and so many meaningful things to create. Simply, there is no time to sit back relive it just for sake of reliving it.

...until I got sick one day, and I decided that I should start with it. And then I found that I indeed wanted to do something else. I want to finish something I thought I gave up few years ago. And what it is? Automotive design.

Long story short, many years ago I came up with idea of quirky, never-seen-before, that-guy-is-out-of-his-head idea of vehicle design. And after the first year at my Uni, during summer break, I spent most of the time not by going out and socialising, but instead, I wanted to put my idea into something that I could show to other people. And so she was born - her majesty Tatra T-1 which I later renamed to T47.

And why it this post called "Let go..."? Well, the design is unfinished. It requires major overhaul, and most importantly, I always wanted it to become something more than just design. I always wanted it to be real. When I was designing it, I was really thinking about how to put things together, how to make this car real, how to make it safe, how to make it nice to look at and nice to drive. I focused so much to make the design timeless so I would be able to resurrect the project sometime and actually build it.

...and now, I give up. I realise that I have so many dreams I want to pursue that I have to eliminate some of them. And this one, even though it is probably the second most mature dream I ever had, and I have put so much time and effort into it, it is simply not compatible with everything else.

So I am letting it go... I am no longer shelving it for better times. When there will be better times, I know I will have more important things to do. And so, I am going to show it to you. Right now...

And now, for anyone looking for short story long, you can read about almost everything I ever did about this idea from the birth of motivation at the dawn of 2008 to final design idea in 2010, all in a little bit longer story: TATRA T47
