But the real surprise is that we also learn truths about ourselves, about our own lives, that somehow we hadn’t been able to see before." — Katherine Paterson (via booksandnerds)

Book of thoughts

I love looking at people’s blogs, whether it’s about fashion, travel, photography,  literature, science, history, alcohol or just random things that take people’s fancy. You never know what you’re going to find, it may be something inspiring or something you look at and think ‘why isn’t this person famous’?

I’d say I’m a bit of a reblogger. I don’t seem to contribute much of my own thoughts - perhaps it’s something I need to get into a bit more? I always have all these thoughts and imaginary things in my head, but I don’t let them out often.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to publish a book of everything you’ve ever thought? - or not, when one considers some of the not-so-PG things you may think about someone or something, not to mention things which could get you fired from a job, say; or cause an argument with someone you really didn’t want to cause an argument with.

But still a book with all of your thoughts in, the good and the bad, even just for your eyes only, it’d be interesting to collect a month’s worth of thoughts and look back at them…

Only problem with that is you’d walk around for a month with your pen glued to a book, which may prove a problem when you’re doing other things… I dunno stuff it! I’d be awesome to try and write down as many as possible, you only live once and all that. It could be an experiment, you could do it for two months and then compare what you were thinking the same time each month… or just do it for a day? Maybe?
