95. Alone

Have you ever been to a café totally on your own? Just sit there and drink a cup of coffee? Yesterday I was kind of forced to do it, I’m not going to explain the whole situation, let’s just say it was a serie of unfortunate events. Anyway, so I sat there, alone, at 9 p.m.. I ordered a coffee and took the november issue of Elle and started reading. You see all those people looking like ‘what the hell is she doing here on her own?’. I was walking around with the idea of drinking coffee on my own for a while. Now I know that, when you see people sitting alone in a café, it can have many different reasons. It didn’t take long before I started sending messages to everyone who possibly had some time for me. But on a saturdayevening everybody is busy ofcourse. So I took the “20 years of Elle” issue and started reading that one. For the first time in a long time I actually read articles, it was pretty interesting. I ordered a Looza and after one hour I textmessaged my boyfriend, asking wheither he was ready or not. He left earlier and picked me up. Maybe I didn’t chose the best evening to do my experiment, but I didn’t really had a choice. But just let’s look at it from the bright side: I read some pretty funny things ànd I heard some great Jazz-music.

92. Theatre

Theatre is, by my opinion, underrated. ‘Cause let’s face it, if it wasn’t because we HAD to go to the theatre with school nobody would watch a play. Except for the old people ofcourse, clearly we think that theatre is old fashioned. Where did this form of art got that image? I love to go to the theatre, dressing up, drinking a cup of coffee in the Theatre Café and afterwards talk about the performance. The whole atmosphere around it just has style. Sure, you can see the same things on tv but it’s just not the same. I’ve already saw so many great performances. The musical Hair, The Westenders, Scala, Theater Antigone, … I can go on like this for hours :’). Theatre isn’t for old people, just buy a ticket and find out for yourself, there is so much more in theatre than there is in television!

90. We are forgiven.

I was the one who always thought that I knew exactly who I am. The last few months I discovered that’s totally not true. I thought I was a very complicated person, hard to read, hard to understand and stuff. But clearly you can read me like a book. My face shows everything, my eyes tell my whole life and I don’t even know it. I always thought I knew what the world was about. Wrong again, my parents are overprotective, I haven’t seen even the half of what the world’s about. I was sure about kind of everything, sure about how my future would look.. And then you just walked in. Now I’m finally getting to know myself. And all of a sudden nothing is sure anymore. I’m not even sure that I’ll be studying history next year.. Maybe I should do politics.. It creeps me out, but I’m glad that I have you.

89. Quality

In our lives we all want high quality, in everything. But you know sometimes we also like low quality… I want my music & videos to have high quality, I want my iPod to survive for a few years, I want my camera to make sharp pictures.. And then I look to the beauty of a polaroid picture. Let’s face it; Polaroid quality sucks. Unrealistic colours, most of the time unsharp.. but look at it; It’s a piece of art on it’s own.
I want to make pictures with a oldfashioned camera. My dad’s like “But you never know that your photo is sharp or not”. Who cares? Okay, it’s sad when your photo looks horrible while it could have been a perfect picture, but that is the art of photography. The true reason we started to make photos anyway. Yes, ladies & gentlemen, I DO like low quality, even in this 21th century.

Sorry, school started again, a little bit of time and a litlle bit of inspiration!

86. I never want to grow up

I read an article in Libelle about the brain of teenagers. Pretty interesting actually. They said school should start at 11 am because it’s not good for us to get up early ( I sooo agree to that!). There also was a part about how our brain changes when we grow up. We’ll have the ability of thinking pure rationally and keeping our emotions out. But our brain now is much more creative and inventive. Which means that we have pretty good ideas to solve the problems that are a danger to the world. The point is, they don’t listen to us because in their eyes “we’re just kids”. Who expects them to have good ideas? So when we grow up our creativity will go down and there goes all the good ideas. And when you look at it, our life will be so boring. We think slower, overthink everything, less drama, more structure… Oh God, I never want to grow up.
