Memories

Taken from the first pages of my Europe notebook:

"The point is to make it easy, to work smarter, make it difficult to fail. It's easy to get the girl if she's attracted to you. Carry the book on you and you will write. Write and you will remember. Remember and you will have access to all those intriguing moments, the exciting bits, the things that drive you. Write and you will succeed."

I guess it works, reading back through that bit I remember the scene in Berlin that surrounded me. I remember the Igor Hofbauer book that I leafed through right afterward. Most importantly, I remembered that drive I felt in the moment, "the exciting bit". Turns out that notebooks in your back pocket aren't just for adding some extra hipster flair to your dry denim.
