a guide to a good night sleep

Hi all, it’s Bianca, it’s been a week that I took a break from social media, I was so anxious because someone could send me a message, but I cannot reply to it. However, I spent more of my time in reading and drawing, which really helps me to recharge and relax!!! 

Here’s a small guide to a good night sleep! My sleep schedule is so messed up but I’m returning school soon, so hopefully I will able to adjust it to my normal rhythm ❤️💜💙

Attention Management: How to Take Control and Live Intentionally

We live in an age of information, and it’s becoming even more difficult to be in control of our attention. Every second, it seems like there’s something new to be consumed, something new to pay attention to. Because of this, it’s important to take control of our attention and more intentional about how we spend our time, and we can do so by practicing attention management.

You may have heard about "dos-à-dos" (back to back) book bindings that make one book turn into two, but this is mind blowing!

A 16th-century book that contains no fewer than six different books in a single binding. They are all devotional texts printed in Germany during the 1550s and 1570s (including Martin Luther, Der kleine Catechismus) and each one is closed with its own tiny clasp.

This is such exquisite craftsmanship. Even not considering the clasps and folds, it’s just so breathtaking. You can view it in more detail on the National Library of Sweden’s Flicker stream.

If you are studying Korean you probably already know this but I really recommend the papago translator by naver!! The translations are often quite accurate. The app is also really great. It offers a lot of example sentences for different situations, also really useful for Japanese and other Asian languages!!

THE LANGUAGE OF JOY

hey,  it´s me Kathie :)

for more than a month now i´ve been trying to write a blog post and tell you guys about my time at ywam nuremberg, but, however weird this sounds coming from a writing student, i have no idea how to do that.

so, i just want to share a poem with you that was a result of me realizing i haven´t been writing anything happy. there was a reason for writing sad a few months ago but since i came here i´ve had a really good time without sadness and i reeeally want to write happy poetry.

so, here´s a poem about learning to be happy. because it´s okay to be sad, it´s a process of becoming a joyful person.

The language of joy

How do you speak joy

It's as foreign as the Mars

I'm looking for life where there is none

Or maybe

Maybe I just can't see it

Maybe I'm blinded by the sun and it doesn't occur to me

That there's this bubble of oxygen

Protecting me

Keeping me alive

Maybe the rays of sunlight that shoot in my direction

Protect me

Kill what wants to kill me

This foreign place isn't dangerous

It's life giving

This language of joy

It isn't as foreign as the Mars

I know it

My heart knows it

And I

Am a toddler learning to speak

Recently I decided to start a diary and bought a nice copy book with an image of Ismailiyya, one of the most beautiful buildings - symbols of Baku. Ismailiyya is unsual architecture for Baku built in 1908-1913 in Venetian-Gothic style.
