I came to Earth during Tinder-High-Season

Publicerat av

Modern dating has never fascinated me, but I guess I will have to play along, as I ended up on Earth during Tinder high-season. Yet, impatiently waiting for it to become like that picturesque southern Italian island mid-December – beautifully deserted.  I can probably count the dates I have been on using both hands. Swiping left and right has turned me into a shallow being. Why are they all so short?!? I won’t lie, I have always experienced life through the eyes. And why wouldn’t I? Earth is beautiful. But being on the apps makes me feel like I am searching for the America’s Next Top Model, instead of someone to hold me during late August thunderstorms.  As I would not classify myself as an avid dater, I would say I’m a curious observer. Nothing really surprises me, yet everything amazes me. Have humans skipped the part where they ask genuine questions to get to know someone? And I don’t mean ’What sex position do you prefer?’ Clearly, a first-date-approved question for many. ”Conservative,” they …

You are not something to achieve

Publicerat av

You do not need to be fixed. All is well, my dear. Everything is exactly as it’s supposed to be. You’re fine. No, you’re more than fine; you’re perfect. The sun will rise again tomorrow. And you will too. In a world where constantly striving to be the best version of ourselves has become the norm—even an obsession—be the one who stands firmly, grounded and at peace. Striving for perfection is like stepping onto a never-ending roller coaster. Trying to improve yourself 24/7 (yes, you are—you’re wearing that watch that tells you how poorly you slept), hoping to reach that higher, better, more aligned, more-at-peace, beautifully zen version of yourself. Nothing outside of yourself will ever help you reach that if you’re constantly neglecting what’s within. How do you think you’ll hold on to that feeling of “finally, I’ve made it” if something inside you is screaming for your attention, but you just look away? “No, I don’t want to listen. Instead, I will go there, do that, improve that, achieve that—anything that will make …

Let Nature guide you

Publicerat av

Just like Nature, we evolve, one precious season at a time. As summer is still upon us, with her humid days and soft nights, Nature asks us to shine our brightest. To speak up and let our deepest desires be voiced. There’s no need to shout them to the entire world, but at the very least, be honest with yourself. What do you want? There’s no time for hiding, as the air is warm, the breeze is fresh. Let the wind carry your voice. Let it be expressed without guilt. There’s a time for being quiet, a time for being honest, a time for looking ahead, a time for pressing pause; there’s a time for all seasons under the sun. It starts from within. It starts with you being honest with yourself. If you can’t express yourself to others, at least express yourself to yourself. Trust your voice. Trust your being. August is often seen as the month to start fresh. Begin again, again and again. But know that you can start anew whenever you …

There is magic in the August air

Publicerat av

August is for faith. Love and compassion. Knowing one’s worth, and the ability to shine a light in another person’s life. Taking care of the body, as well as the soul. Exploring new cities and friendships. It’s for constantly learning, constantly evolving. Small steps in the right direction. Appreciating every victory, every mistake. Blissful mornings. Dark, quiet evenings. Golden opportunities from dusk till dawn. The ability to inspire other human beings. Improving the quality of life. Challenging the body. Loving the body. Loving life. This August is all about being present in the here and now. It’s about finding humour in everyday life. Expecting and enjoying the unexpected. Curiosity and creativity. Confidently chaotic. It’s about a life that’s flourishing and exciting. Beautiful and unexpected. It’s about life. August is for seeking knowledge, the truth resting deep within. Savour every breath of this moment while summer effortlessly turns into fall. It’s pure beauty, pure art. Nature soothes us with her colourful heart. Wherever we go, whenever we fall, Mother Nature’s passionate spirit embraces us all. Make a …

Move with the hour

Publicerat av

Have you ever felt that your life is at a standstill? You notice big shifts happening within you, yet when you look around, everything is the same. Or so it seems… Although your inner landscape is quietly reshaping, the outside does not always move at the same speed. But then, almost out of thin air, something happens. You get that call. An opportunity, right in front of you. Something you have been dreaming of. And suddenly, it’s here. I’m not ready. But you have been preparing for this moment. Putting in the work, staying consistent. Trusting. Being open to receiving. But most of all, you have been brave. Brave enough not to give up on yourself. Your job in this moment is to keep on trusting. Keep on believing that good things are happening for you. When something you have been dreaming of for years, suddenly stands in front of you, it’s easy to feel uncertain. Slightly anxious, even afraid to mess it up. Do I really deserve this? Yes, you do. Your dreams are …

Creativity – A way of being

Publicerat av

Humans are innately creative. I truly believe the desire to express ourselves is deeply rooted within each and every one of us, along with the desire to be understood. However, the fear of being misunderstood or ridiculed stands in the way for many who wish to explore creative endeavours. Ever since I was a child, I had this nagging little voice in my head: ”Who do you think you are?” every time I performed on stage or was successful in my sport. I can’t recall exactly where that voice stemmed from, but nonetheless, I could always count on its arrival! Creativity is so much more than writing a perfect essay, painting art for galleries or performing on stage… Creativity is a way of being. What if we took the pressure off ourselves and simply expressed ourselves more honestly in our day-to-day lives? What if we just started to live more truthfully? Not to impress, not for validation. Simply because of the desire to. My mornings are my little getaway. Every dawn, I see the chance to re-centre myself, …

the softness of a new dawn

Publicerat av

I have not been writing in a while. As soon as I get too caught up in the external world, my writing somehow drifts away to a sacred place. Nevertheless, it never goes far, it’s always near, quietly reassuring me that it will still be here when I’m ready to let my fingers dance on the keyboard again. When the days are filled with tasks, endless to-dos, and too much screen time, my intuition falls asleep. It craves the stillness of an early morning. It awakens amidst the blooming trees of July. It cherishes the spaciousness of the bluest, warmest vanilla sky. It feeds on quiet moments in between. I don’t always listen, and I have for sure neglected its needs. My soul grows tired, and I ask myself: What is missing? And then I realise, nothing is missing. I was focusing on the wrong things. I got carried away, not by the beauty of nature, but by the chaos of the external world. As soon as I do too little of the things that …

The art of taking up space

Publicerat av

It’s spring darling, let yourself bloom. Taking up space does not necessary mean expressing yourself to others. Being loud about your becomings; look at me, value me, please, give me permission to be me. Maybe it’s more about taking up space within yourself. To allow yourself to be. To focus on yourself, and not being so caught up in other people’s whereabouts. Take up space in your own life, darling. Become comfortable sitting with yourself. Listening to your own voice. Choosing your own path. Within, within. Within. It all starts from within. Who are you when no one is watching? When no one is there to validate your presence? Your accomplishments. Is your art still valuable, without the attention of the other? Or, is your own validation not enough? What do you seek from them, that you cannot give to yourself? It’s human to want connection. Without others, we’re incomplete. But without yourself, you’re nothing. Allow your breath to deepen, allow your thoughts to expand. Allow your voice to matter. You have the whole universe …

Wintering

Publicerat av

”Anna Karenina is not for the light days of summer, it is to be read during the depths of winter.” Winter is a season for slowing down. Just as nature is asleep, preparing herself for her blooming becoming of spring, we too have the opportunity to find deep rest. It’s not so much about being inactive, but more so about attentiveness, and still moments filled with silent whispers from within. So, don’t treat winter like she is summer. She is deep. Nourishing and quiet. Let her thick layers of pure white snow comfort you. Let her cool wind guide you home. Allow yourself to be winter when you are winter, and summer when you are summer. What is your favourite winter activity? ❤️ https://youtu.be/6r4Dxxs1Gs8?si=MMYwJshwiRkB0wC0
