Pierrot le Fou is literally one of my fav movies. It's such a fun coincidence that right before clicking on this video I was watching an Anna Karina interview!!
I am about to finish my tenth journal. The most interesting thing I have seen in my own journaling is the development of my methods. I used to fill my pages with writing as well as drawings and collages. I would use different colored pens on each page. Now, I like my pages to only be filled with words and all in cursive. I use the same black pen in every journal, even though I go through them like water. It almost pays homage to the development of my thoughts as well. I do less creative writing now than I used to.
hey dakota, i been enjoying your videos co co much! as a stationary enthusiast i am in love with those diaries, where did you get them from? have a lovely day!
I would add The Wind in The Willows. It’s one of the very few books that I would call perfect. It’s also extremely accessible, beautifully written. Possibly my favourite ever book. A true classic.
I started listening to Jane Eyre while cleaning my bathroom and ironing my clothes and the day after I took it from library to actually read it. I did not know nor did I listen to/read it as romance. For 600 page book the romance is just a small part of it. For me it was a story about faith, in God, or whatever you believe in, in yourself, how she went from really unhappy unloved kid and became woman so sure in herself . For me it was amazing how Jane examined herself and her emotions in her coming of age. I was sad when all that about mentally ill wife and cheating was revealed but still was amazed with Jane's spirit and her commitment to her beliefs to leave him ( and was suprised with her end but as you said, the product if time, I believe it would be too revolutionary to leave a young woman unmarried or without a husband at the end of the novel). It gave me so much to think about religion and our boundaries and rationality over temporary emotions. I don't think I would like it as much if I read it and expected amazing love story, so I get your dislike of it but if anyone is reading this who hasn't read Jane Eyre please don't read it as romance but coming of age/life story.
I just finished crime and punishment!!! Incredible. Now I have to find something else which is a shame because I feel like nothing will be so good and so perfect for my mood. It’s messed up because it’s summer but I’m in the mood for dark books and I don’t know what to do with that
Your musings on projects and productivity is so refreshing. As someone with adhd it’s hard to explain to people how my productivity works v differently from most!
I don’t like romance books cause I feel like they are quite shallow. I like books that keep my attention and are not written like a bad watpad story (ahem… Colleen Hoover). 😂
i loved this video so much, was so beautiful, soft, creative and inspiring. i have kept a diary for almost 10 years (im 19) and i´ve always wrote in it through waves and periods until last year when i started writting more heavenly and frequently on it - not just as a necessity to relief and dream and think but also as a necessity to simply wirte. write words on papel. This year i havent written much and a couple days ago ive "found" my taste for journaling again and never felt so good, i feel reconected and "awaken" again, like a part of me was turned off. i need my diary as i need air. i found this video in such perfect timing, thank you so much.
I love this video! I watched a bunch of videos about journaling, It's seemed so complicated But then I started (2 days ago) And I realised it isn't. I really like how you said intuition is most important. I agree. And how you referenced all these writers and artists, that's really nice! For now my journal is mostly filled with poems about how I feel. I don't know if you can call them poems though. I'm no poet. But I also started writing more freely without worrying about rhymes, or counting the syllables. Feels liberating. I hope I can keep this up. Cheers
Romeo & Juliet has been beloved by middle school girls for several generations. Also Shakespeare is meant to be seen on stage. Frankenstein is actually not that easy a read. Good book tho.
Hey Dakota, sorry if this question has an obvious answer, but I'm from brazil and would love to read your poetry book, do you know if there's a way I can do that? An e-book maybe? Lovely video as always 💕🦢
