Words that describe this breath-taking city? Historical, vibrant, old-fashioned, beyond beautiful, inspiring, Hogwarts-like, enchanting, beyond beautiful (Did I mention that already? :D).

I already hold England very close to my heart, and I kinda had a feeling that I would fall in love with Edinburgh. And I did! The first morning when we walked to Wetherspoons to get breakfast, I couldn't stop muttering 'Wow. This is so beautiful.' and already took hundreds of photos. This city and its lanes, streets and closes are honestly stunning.

October

''October arrived, spreading a damp chill over the grounds and into the castle. Madam Pomfrey, the nurse, was kept busy by a sudden spate of colds among the staff and students. Raindrops in size of bullets thundered on the castle windows for days on end; the lake rose, the flower beds turned into muddy streams, and Hagrid's pumpkins swelled to the side of garden sheds.''

- J. K. Rowling

My plan for today's evening? Cuddle up in the warmest blankets and relax. I have the busiest week ahead, since I have many things to check off my to do list before I head to Scotland on Friday. It's like I have been waiting for my Scottish adventure for so long and it feels like I am about to visit the mothership of autumns. The excitement is BEYOND real.

On another note, the sun finally decided to visit us in Slovenia again and just in time for the weekend as well! We made a quick trip to one of the country's beauties - Lake Bled - and enjoyed in the sound of crunching leaves under our feet. 

How was you weekend? I want to hear all about it. :)

FOMO

FOMO (n.): the fear of missing out

This phenomenon is almost inevitable nowadays as we are bombarded with images of picture perfect lives (or at least so they seem). Social media channels make sure that we always know what is going on out there, who's currently soaking up the sun in Maldives, who's enjoying the sunset in America or who's hanging out at a local pub. 

There's a thin line between wanting to do something because we really like it and doing something just because it's popular. For example, you may feel like you're missing out if you are not laying on a beach in Maldives, but you may not necessarily even want to go there. Do you know what I mean? Would booking Maldives be your first travel choice or are you just inspired to go there because of a current trend?

So what can we do to overcome the so-called fomo?

I think that the best way is to accept that there are going to be things, events and moments in life that you are going to miss. And that's okay. There's no way you can experience every single thing every person is doing, because you can't be in hundred places at once. You can't even be in two places at once. So yes, you will miss out on what Susan's doing, but guess what? You are not Susan. And Susan's going to miss out on things that you are doing, because she is not you. We spend too much time thinking what others are doing instead of focusing on our own lives.

WORDS // morii

Morii (n.) – the desire to capture a fleeting experience

A couple of months ago we attended a Coldplay concert. During the concert, I couldn't help myself and recorded about a million videos and took just as many photos. When Fix you came on, it was magical. I was just about to hit the button to start recording again and then my boyfriend said to me (well something along these lines): You are watching the whole show through your phone, don't forget to enjoy it in real life. And he was so right. 

I was too busy capturing the atmosphere, when in reality, I should be there. Feeling it. Enjoying it. It got me thinking - how many times will I actually watch those videos I took? And I knew the answer. I will import them on my computer and forget about them. But I just had to have memories of that special night in hopes of making it last longer.

We live our lives in moments. And moments pass. So we try to capture them, to catch them. To do anything to remember them. And convert them into anything that will last longer. We can travel the world, looking for new memories and adventures and still find ourselves standing behind the camera, looking through the lens. Trying to take the perfect capture. The perfect photo. So we can show it to our friends and family. And still say ''Oh, I guess you had to be there.''
