time is at the essence...

exams are around the corner...
so most of my life is revision at the moment.
but of course there are the little things in life,
that make life worth living, even when my brain feels like exploding.

the sunshine.
drinking coffee.
knitting.
eating waffles.
enjoying some red wine while
watching "not going out".
listening to frank sinatra, foster the people
and this tune:



in 4 weeks i'm done! hurray.

life lately

a couple of weeks ago my dear friend Hannah introduced me to "daily grace". she is a video blogger and absolutely hilarious.
today she explains how to study.

clashing intentions

it's one of those days.
some people, or some men misinterpret kindness.
and then i feel guilty for being nice.
and i rack my brain
'did i do something that might have given a wrong idea?'
but i do not want to apologise

for laughing at his jokes

and looking into his eyes when he was talking.

and so i am sitting here trying to figure out
what i can do about this unsolved misunderstanding
without losing a friend.
again.

on thinking, ignorance and happiness

'Amighty God! Thou who holdest in Thy hand the minds of men, deliver us from the fatal arts and sciences... give us back ignorance, innocence, and poverty, which alone can makes us happy and are precious in Thy sight'. 
-Rousseau

sometimes i have pity on people who never experienced the exhilarating feeling you get while reading literature, thinking about political issues, and mediating on philosophical questions.
but to constantly scrutinize, question and doubt all things can make one quite melancholic and even desperate. it seems so hard to find answers, to fully understand.
life probably is easier for an ignorant person but not as deep. and i guess melancholy is a price worth paying for the blitheness that arises from pondering about life, love and god.

living #3

deepening friendships.

drinking milk.

listening to snow patrol's album "fallen empires". over and over again.

early morning jogging rounds.

meeting great people.

playing the guitar.

feels like life keeps getting better and better.
