Can you see them in the window?
Although my life may look like a scene from an Ingmar Bergman film, I can assure you that it's nothing of that kind.
I'm back in Bergen to wrap up my last lectures and start filling brown boxes with all my things, trying to convince myself to through some of it away, but knowing that it's not going to happen. I'm attaching to things like everyone else. The same goes for places. I know that in time I will miss my big room with the window that can't be opened. I will miss the walks to school in the rain. I will miss passing the house with the five Husky puppies observing me from a window like the sisters from the Virgin Suicides.
Do you know the feeling of wishing you could have appreciated things more when they lasted?
the answer to your last sentence? ABSOLUTELY and i think it's an all around human flaw...but we're learning, right?
ReplyDeleteOh man I just LOVE your captures anna!!!
I like that you notice the Husky puppies, and compare them to the sisters in the Virgin Suicides!
ReplyDeleteThat movie fascinates me so I keep on finding analogies to it everywhere in life.
DeleteI know the feeling Anna! But I guess the good news is that there will always be new experiences and places that you won't appreciate enough while you're there. It's the story of our lives I guess :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my. The puppies in the window! I would miss them too.
ReplyDeleteAs for appreciating things while they last, I tend to only realize I appreciate something when I lose it. I agree with ginanorma. It's a human flaw.
Also, your bangs are beyond adorable.
The puppies were the cutest! If I had a bad, rainy day I would look forward to see them there in the window :)
DeleteThese pictures are so beautiful! Seriously gorgeous. And yes, absolutely.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you (that is you isn't it?)
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet huskies and those flowers. The colours the textures - all of it. I'm sold!
Love the pictures and know the feeling only too well. Not really sure how to combat it, though...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos on Redscale! And yes it is so very difficult to appreciate things while they last, it seems we can only do so in hindsight, with a tinge of sorrow.
ReplyDeleteWait 'til you have kids. That feeling gets even worse. The days can pass so slowly, but the years just fly. I'm about to have a 5 year old, and I have no idea how we got here from the day we brought her home. :)
