Hi everyone. I have settled in Paris quite well. Everything is going great, it seems. I have sorted out my university problems, my housing, bank, phone, and even transportation card. Paris is a great city and I would love to go around here but right now, I am relaxing at home, watching many movies. Last night, I watched a movie called 'We'll Take Manhattan.' It was a movie about David Bailey, the renowned innovative photographer of Vogue, and Jean Shripmton, the most beautiful model in the 60's. I have never heard of both of them before I watched the movie but instantly fell in love with them afterwards. After watching the movie, I gave it a little thought, and came to the conclusion that I will never really be a real artist. Well, at least if I don't change. I love everything about art, but to be an artist is something different from just loving it. It requires courage, and being different from other people. In the movie, Bailey takes pictures in places that can be regarded as absurd and even rubbish. But his brave actions actually brought the fashion industry a whole new world. So, my point here is, you need to be brave enough to be different from others to be a real artist. I always want to do so, and I always just think about it, but I actually never carry it out. I think too much of how others will think about me if I acted differently, while I hate those who only does whatever everyone else does. I am such an ironic person, yes. But doesn't everyone hate those who have the same personality as them? Life is full of irony.
