Some Scenes From "A Ghost Story (2017, David Lowery) That I Liked, Thank You.

I edited a few moomin lockscreens for the folks of tumblr.

I study the scene in front of the bus the way I studied my letters in school. Gradually I begin to make out a kind of order in all the disorderness, a pattern to it all. It is like a river, where the currents of buses and trucks and people and animals flow into and around each other. If you look hard enough, chaos turns into order the way letters turn into words

That guy on the bike, IS the main character.

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 hoped she'd never leave me

Please God you must believe me

I've serched the universe

And found myself

Within' her eyes

“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.

There’s always something good coming. Remember that.
