Barcelona, Spain Summer 2016 Polaroid

Polaroids of My Time in Barcelona (and Madrid)

After spending the month of June 2016 in Italy, I decided to fly to Spain for two weeks. First, I revisited my favorite city in the world, Barcelona, for a week. Then I went on to Madrid, a city I had never been to before. My Fujifilm Mini Instax 8 camera came with me on this particular trip, which gave me the opportunity to take a few polaroids of my travels. Continuing my series of polaroids from each city I went to, here are polaroids of my time in Barcelona and Madrid.

Barcelona

I love Barcelona. I kind of wish I brought more film packs with me to take more polaroids of this beautiful city. I’m still in the process of learning this polaroid camera. So even though I took more photos, a lot of them came out dark. The dark ones I ended up tossing. Unfortunately, I also got sick with a head cold my week here. So there was at least one day that I did absolutely nothing. Still, I think I managed to get some decent shots.

Madrid

Madrid was one of those cities that for some reason I spent the majority of my time walking but not taking photographs. It’s that weird dichotomy of taking everything in without distractions–living in the moment and feeling it–or documenting everything all the time and never really taking anything in. I did get a few more polaroid shots, but even though I kept them, I didn’t bother scanning them since they were so dark.

I've had this Jenn Bennett book on my bookshelf for a very long time. I've read a few of her other books, but this is one that my best friend would always ask if I had read yet. Well, I finally read it. And it was the cutest read! I love me a good contemporary YA novel!

This was the week U2 dropped their first surprise This was the week U2 dropped their first surprise EP of the year. I listened to Days of Ash on repeat and had to document it in my Hobonichi Weeks because it affected me (and I love it) so much. It even got me ranting on about the state of our world on the internet, which is something I don't normally do. But it's a mess; we're a mess. "We" as a civilization, I mean. "It" as in the World.

The songs on this particular album had me feeling all the things—sadness, anger, despair, and light, love, hope. It’s a shame that all of these feeling are true at the same time. I can never understand how we can all call ourselves human when we’ve collectively lost our humanity. (I’m generalizing here, but the last couple of years have felt like a global extinction of humanity.)

“There is no us, if there is no them.” 

What makes humankind so beautiful is our differences and I can never understand how most can’t see we’re all the same in that. There's so much division and one too many sides. We all live in the inbetween, in the gray space, the "And Space" whether we want to admit it or not.

Whatever you believe in, I don’t care which side you’re on. What’s happening in Palestine, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, Iran...is wrong. What’s happening in the US is more of the same. Wrong, wrong, wrong. There’s no taking sides here. It’s all wrong no matter which coin you flip. All sides can be right, but all sides are wrong too—and that’s what people get stuck on. But when it’s innocent human lives being taken in the guise of faith, whatever faith…Fuck politics. This is  all a morality war. And we need to stop being so mean to each other and learn compassion. At the end of the day, most of us want the same things anyway. There shouldn’t be an “other.” No one is above or beneath you. It’s just us, all of us. xx

I added on the Creative and Deluxe Journaling kits because I loved this collection so much. I can wait to use these bits in my journals. I'm seriously going to try really hard not to hoard it all! xx

I've been on a reading kick lately and have been picking up books about books. This was a very nice read after The Starless Sea. I really do like stories about unique secret libraries that hold various meanings of life. Mr. Penumbra was a nice modern take on that. Worth a read!
