Starry Night. Loving Vincent (Van Gogh), Movie, 2017

When everyone in the room is fighting for you

The Ballad of Nora Lee

Song by Helldorado

Once upon a time there lived a lady young and fair

Raven hair and rosy cheeks and no one to compare

Daughter of a noble man in a little town

And her name was Nora Lee, and it was spoken all around

It's told that she was courted by two men of different kin

One of them a shoemaker that made boots of lizard skin

The other was the sheriff in this little town

And he swore he'd marry her or else he'd put her in the ground

One night the moon was brightly shining in the sky

She went to see the shoemaker and with him she did lie

"You are my own true love" she whispered soft and low

But they'd been spied upon that night, and soon the sheriff he would know

Then came a cold and dark night and the wind was blowin' free

The sheriff and his men they tied poor Nora to a tree

Full of wickedness they stole her maidenhead

Then they stabbed her with a knife 'till they were sure she was dead

Her body it was found the next day on the banks below

The news was heard and many hearts were filled with grief and woe

"The guilty one will soon be hung" the sheriff he did claim

And he called upon his men, the shoemaker to blame

The scaffold it was built and all the people gathered round

Just to watch that poor boy taken to his hangin' ground

The rope was tied around his neck for everyone to see

And as the hangman pulled the rope, then he would meet his Nora Lee

if i'm safe

from evil eyes

it's only because

i'm blessed

by your eyes

Random scenes from "Spirited Away (Hayao Miyazaki, 2001)" that has No-face (Koanashi) in it that I liked, thank you.

That guy on the bike, IS the main character.

Jane Austen - "Sense and Sensibility"

The Alchemist

Quotes that I really liked and felt the need to underline:

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream."

"It's not what enters men's mouth that's evil, it's what comes out of their mouth that is."

"Wherever your heart is, that's where you will find your treasure."

"I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself."

"All people who are happy have God within them, and that happiness could be found in a grain of sand from the desert. Because a grain of sand is a moment of creation, and the universe has taken millions of years tı create it."

"Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested."

"Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams?" The boy asked the alchemist.

"Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer."

“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:

quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.

definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.

lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.

maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.

photos

take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.

illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.

newspaper clippings from the day.

tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.

postcards

records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.

rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.

count. there’s a scene in the movie Caroline (2009) where Caroline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.

mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.

collages

pressed leafs and flowers

your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.

recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.

stickers

comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

Not a specific time period but I like learning about wars throughout history.

The first person that comes to my mind is the little prince lol. I read its book at least once every year and it feels different each time.

A fresh brew.

Libraries.

The (500) Days of Summer soundtrack, it's lovely.

A cottage on the top of a mountain with an old, huge, and shady tree right beside it OR a mansion that I design myself and it has a huge garden and an art studio in the backyard.

Talking with my friend and sleeping.

Films: About Time, Her, Midnight in Paris. Books: Fesleğen by Hikmet Anıl Öztekin, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

No.

I haven't read much, I will update this later in my life.

Not sure.

I dont like either.

Not sure, all my life I have lived in placed with only 1 or 2 seasons.

I think I should be reading more poetry, I like it but I dont have a strong opinion on it at the moment.

Texting; no, emails; depends on who I am emailing.

I only put 50 songs in each playlist as I discover them, when there is 50 songs in a playlist, I create another one. Sometimes it takes months to reach 50, and sometimes only a couple of weeks. When I listen to my old playlist I can see how ı was back then.

Khaled Hosseini and Dan Brown.

Hot chocolate.

Meadows, I guess.

Mulberry.
