Wednesday 16th September 2015 was the day I decided to start a daily diary
I've always envied people who have been able to successfully record every day of their lives, through the use of paper and pen. I always thought..
'It must be nice to come across pieces of your past. The feeling of nostalgia and happiness as you place your eyes upon this treasured piece of paper. Valuable in only one way, it holds a piece of you.'
Seeing how you've developed through language and handwriting, comparing it to the person you are today.
To me there is something magical about being able to relive memories. At the same time it is a curse. Personally, I can get caught up within stories from past times, I can worry about them so much to the extent that they come into my present and future lives. I guess it's a natural thing to do in this day.
I am forever fascinated by our personal past events, I love hearing about other people's unique views on their life so far. It gives me reassurance and comfort.
I feel like I'm constantly reflecting
Since coming back home from Glasgow I've been hut by past feelings of comfort and routine. Moving away has given me a new perspective on how I view home. I've learnt to appreciate what home has to offer, the peace and quiet, the sound of birds in the evening and the stillness of the night. I currently feel more inspired. It's as if my mind has returned to how it was last Summer, back in my normal habitat, like it was during my second year at college.

I am currently listening to Future Island's Long Flight (Undressed Version) on Spotify. This song reminds me of many things. It reminds me of the last months of college, it reminds me of last Summer, it reminds myself of Martin, it reminds me of having my first night out in Edinburgh in December alongside Martin and his flat, as this song was played at some point during the night.
Future Islands was introduced to me by Martin, the first song being 'Seasons'. The band also reminds me of my Dad, it reminds me of spending New Years Eve in Glasgow at Sloans with Elsie as we watched Jools Holland's Hootenanny, it reminds me of travelling on the bus to Edinburgh one Summers day last year (saying 'Summers Day' now reminds me of (500) Days of Summer).
EVERYTHING STEMS FROM SOMETHING
The band also reminds me of sad and happiness, it brings a different feeling into the air, a unique vibe.
The amazing thing for me is that this is a completely different story for someone else.

Within Site, Place and Context I would like to focus my attention on the attachments of memories and present moments. Comparing and combining the both to some conclusion maybe. For this I have to choose my own site, I have given this some thinking and I have come to the conclusion that I'm interested in home. By Friday 1st July I'll be moving into a new family home, in the thirteen days I've got left I would like to work within these walls that have carried me through my twenty years.
I'll continue this through the move of different environments
