I finally finished posting all my Istanbul pics onto my photography tumblr, just in time for my trip to Barcelona. I’m glad I took the time to take nice photographs while I was there, I’m pleased with a lot of them.

“ Of course that is not the whole story, but that is the way with stories; we make them what we will. It’s a way of explaining the universe while leaving the universe unexplained, it’s a way of keeping it all alive, not boxing it into time. Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently. Some people say there are true things to be found, some people say all kinds of things can be proved. I don’t believe them. The only thing for certain is how complicated it all is, like string full of knots.

My time on a train is spent half reading, half staring out the window. I’m on my way to visit my little brother at uni. I feel like I’ve spent quite a bit of time on trains this last week!
Just read these books, people. Goddamn. They’re so bloody good. It makes me so happy to know that this exists in the world. It’s YA but is not patronising in any way, doesn’t dumb anything down, and is gut-wrenching. I’d say it’s a mix between sci-fi and dystopia, but it reads like reality, which I think is a sign of a great book. I’m handing them onto my little brother (he’s not very little, he’s 19) today, because as I was reading them all I could think was that he’d enjoy them, and that makes me love the books more. I love sharing things with him, because we don’t often read the same stuff (he’s not a big reader, but when he gets into a book, he’ll swallow it).

The second video from my footage from Istanbul. It’s short, I promise (1:42, to be precise). It’s mostly walking around the city, views from what was our rooftop, the seaside, and a teahouse.
Go watch it, etc.
