Back Again

Ironically I haven’t posted anything on my blog since the last post about the one year anniversary of my blog. I needed a little break, I suppose. Now I have found the energy and time to start blogger once again, and hopefully this time I won’t leave too big gaps in between my posts. Like most other students, I am currently busy writing tons of essays and dissertations. This year I have got something great to look forward to as I will soon be returning to much loved – and missed – Copenhagen. Besides this I am going to travel around Eastern Europe with a dear friend of mine. I can’t wait. But for now I will have to ally myself with patience and return to the books.

Happy Birthday

Slowly the time has passed and suddenly the date hit the 3rd of March once again, which means my blog is now one year old! A little more than a year ago was the first time I sat down to write my first post on this blog. Much has happened since then and slowly the blog has become a part of my life: A way of documenting the smaller and bigger events of my life as well as the different range of feelings and moods that accompany them. I like the thought of having all these posts, as well as the moments and thoughts they represent, securely saved on my blog, where I know I can always come by and be reminded of them. Therefore: hurrah for this little evidence of my existence, my everyday and daydreams.

Thanks a lot for commenting on my blog, I truly appreciate it!

In an instant

Right now I am sat on the sofa with a steaming hot cup of tea and a new book waiting to be opened. Despite the weekend being over and a busy week ahead of me, I think this way of beginning the new week is perfect. With this song playing in the background, I think the setting is right for disappearing from reality for a bit.

Thursday thoughts

I took this picture yesterday. I never get tired of walking by the beach and looking over the seemingly endless ocean. After a long walk by the beach today, I went home and read “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde. Soon I will be meeting up with some friends. Quite an ideal Thursday in my opinion.

About Time

I am often puzzled by the pace at which time moves. It often leaves me with a melancholic sadness when I think back on previous events – both the ordinary and the joyous. Knowing that these moments are forever gone makes me want to stop the time and catch them. Unfortunately they are constantly fleeting and therefore impossible to hold onto. I feel like they vanish through my hands before I get a chance to understand and acknowledge them. I only fully understand the value of these moments when they have passed. This recognition confuses me and makes me wonder what I really have. Essentially the present moment is the only real thing.

Favorite Films

Just as I thought Spring was here for good, it started snowing again. Snow does not only mean freezing weather, cold feet and running noses. It also means candlelights and movies. Therefore I have decided to spend the evening watching two of my all time favorite films.

#1 Pulp Fiction

This film by Quentin Tarantino contains the best dialogue, which is the reason why I love this film. The dialogue is brought to live brilliantly by some very spectacular actresses and actors. If you have not watched this film yet, I can highly recommend it.

#2 Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain

Amélie is another one of my all time favorite films. It takes place in Paris and contains a lot of beautiful images. Perhaps it helps that Audrey Tautou is amazingly pretty. Most of all I like it because it puts me in a good mood.

What are your all-time favorite films?

Tuesday Love

I wish that Tuesdays contained a little more love. Perhaps these images will help a bit. I just got back from University and I have a whole lot of things to read for tomorrow. But first I will turn up the music so loud that the glasses on the table start to clink against each other and this Tuesday perhaps will not feel as ordinary.

It’s been a long time

When the sun finally peeps out after having spent months hiding behind a curtain of grey clouds and the birds start to whistle, you suddenly remember what spring is like. It is like meeting an old, missed friend. However, I fear that this joyful reunion will be a quick one. Therefore I will equip myself with patience and hold out a few more weeks before the sun once again will brighten up the sky.

Missing

It is now about a month ago that I packed my bags and left beloved Copenhagen. To be precise it is a month and two days ago, which means it is the longest I have ever been away from home. Even though a month is not a long time, occasionally I miss my friends back home quite a lot and I miss Copenhagen: the beautiful, colorful, old houses and the crowded biking lanes. I miss my everyday involving my best friends and the comfort of knowing my way around every little street of the city. I miss my small apartment and the lazy sundays in Nørrebro. I miss speaking Danish.

However, I have only been here for a month. Soon this place will feel like home and I know that once I leave this place I will miss it as well. The beach, the old town, the people, the pubs. On a grey and rainy day like today it is easy to miss home. But in the end I know that it will just make me appreciate my friends and Copenhagen that much more once I return.

Brighton

The last week I have got lost in narrow streets with tiny shops, experienced heavy rain and storm, met a lot of new happy faces and been excited and nervous at the same time. However, there are still a bunch of undiscovered lanes and new people to meet. All of this has left me expectant, but also impatient; as if I cannot experience enough in the course of a day.
