    Right now, I am thinking about a box, like a money-box, but for sketches. I throw away my sketches and paintings that I don't like (for many reasons).

    The idea is simple. You draw a sketch or doodle, or small painting, and put it in the box. It doesn't matter, how perfect are they. At the end of the year, you open it and just enjoy looking at it. Admiring your creations. Maybe remember things you might forget.

     Isn't it a great idea? It would be a beautiful box, full of your treasures. You did great, and your art is beautiful. Keep on creating.

Allow Heeseung to Pursue Solo Activities Without Leaving ENHYPEN

[monetamongthenymphaea]

I've known ENHYPEN for a long time, probably since their debut. I didn’t pay much attention to them because, at the time, I was more interested in other groups. I was an outsider observer. I knew about them, but I wasn’t into them.

Maybe two months ago, I stumbled upon one of their songs in my playlist, and I began to learn more about the group and the members. And of course, I especially liked Heesung, mainly because of his voice and his playful and caring personality. Perhaps thanks to ENHYPEN, and especially to Heesung, a long-extinguished spark inside me was reignited — the desire to live, not just exist. The desire to do something, to dream, and to make plans. Their music and espesially his voice helped me get through not the best time of my life. Life somehow became a bit easier and more joyful.

And today is the day we all find out he’s left the group. I feel like I’m fading again. The immense sadness and the understanding that he will no longer return to the group hit me like a wave.

This news won’t kill me, but it makes me go back to the place I don’t want to go back again. That feeling of hopelessness, lost opportunities and uncertain future suffocates me. And I feel my spark fading away again.

 I understand that this isn’t the easiest decision for him either — to give up his youth and leave gracefully at the peak of his career. And he might feel the same sandess as we all do. But I try to think positively — that everything happens for the best. But we all definitely need time and each other’s support to get through these times. These past two months have been wonderful. Thank you.

If you are looking for something light to read, try to read Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami. It was a blind choice (I didn't read annotations or reviews) and it was pretty easy to read. It took me only two days to read it all. If you have ever read Haruki Murakami, then you will definitely recognize his writing style. I've read Haruki Murakami's books before, like After Dark and Tokyo Kitanshu (Tokyo Legends). Compared to them, this novel has a tenuous plot with light notes of Murakami philosophy. Despite the simple plot, it catches your attention from the beginning. It's good book to read if you don't want to think to much or you want to relax befor starting more complicated. So, spent my weekend reading this novel. My "la recommandation" for sure.

The Evermore Grimoire: Astrology

Virgo (August 23rd to September 22nd) is the sixth astrological sign in the zodiac and is is represented as a young maiden carrying a sheaf of wheat. In Greek mythology the constellation is connected to either Demeter (goddess of the harvest) or her daughter Persephone (queen of the Underworld). However it's possible Virgo is also connected to Astraea (goddess of justice) who was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus (hence the sign's association with Earth.) She then became the constellation of Virgo. Traits associated with Virgo include being smart, sophisticated and kind as well as being known for getting the job done without complaining. They're amazing friends, always there to lend a hand and also lend advice. Practical Virgos are incredibly adept at big picture thinking such as planning out their life, their vacations, and what they're going to do that day isn't a drag. Instead it makes them feel in control and secure. They expect perfection from themselves, and they may project those high standards on the other people in their life. A Virgo hates it when someone lets him or her down, even if it's minor and unavoidable, like a last-minute cancellation. They also never want to disappoint the people in their lives, so they may spread themselves too thin and put themselves last. Intelligent and a lifelong learner, Virgo loves trying new things, reading books, and learning about the world. They'll happily sign up for an adult-education course, and they consider an afternoon in bed with a book pretty much ideal. A Virgo prefers an evening with good friends to a huge party, and values downtime just as much as socialising. This sign doesn't need to fill their calendar to be content.
