I miss the forests

This is part of the forest that surround our country house.
Me and my siblings used to play up here, but I haven’t been there for
a few years now. I’ll hopefully have time to go there this summer.

It’s spring

Today I met up with two lovely girls (Linn & Olivia), bought coffee and sat in London fields and caught the smell of people’s bbq around us. Spring. After a while in the park we went to Fika to eat some waffles (since today is the the waffle-day!)
This is how sundays should be.

The first days in text

I have now been living in London for a week, I think I’ve settled quite well. Got a room right away, been working for 3 days (but hanging out in the studio the whole time really), spending time with people from the studio, and finding my way around quite well.One thing I always do (maybe too much of) is put my headphones on with high volume and just walk around for a hours. It’s perfect in a new city, you get to know the streets and the area. I mean it’s nicer to do it in a new city, just because everything is new. But maybe I should try more activities, trying to meet new people outside the studio as well.

With my headphones it tends to be a bit isolated, which is a problem. I’m spending the time in my bubble once again. Even if I like to do this, it gets a bit lonely after a while.
A new city, new possibilities, and still I’m doing the same thing as in every other city.
But I tell myself that it’s OK to do this the first time, it’s a thing I do to get adjusted to this new city of mine. I got plenty of time. But then I feel like I should start out strong.

I was so nervous when I moved, didn’t eat or sleep much at all. Once again I told myself It’s not thaaat big of a move, everyone moves to London, not much is going to change. But it was a big thing for me. I think I had high expectations, but not really a plan to do all the things I wanted it to be. I’ve been wanting to live in London since the first time I visited this city with Ulle many years ago now. But I’ve always been to scared to do it.
But I haven’t been stressed about it, I knew that a day will come when everything feels right. And it did.

I’m thankful for all the incredible people in ustwo who always help me out, even if they might not realize it. All this would been a much bigger challenge without the studio of dreams. I feel incredible lucky.

Right now I feel calm, got everything sorted (except my NIN yet), now I can start everything I wanted to do when I got here. Geek out in the doctor who shop, geek about harry potter things, go to a lot of gigs and just explore all the cool places in london.
But It turned into a slow start. Tonight was a gig I wanted to go to (Team Me – With My Hands Covering Both of My Eyes I Am Too Scared to Have A Look at You Now) I didn’t end up going. I felt that those strolls I’ve taken around in the city so far has been on my own, so I did not want to start my first gig here alone. So instead I ended up watching Tv with my two room mates from Gothenburg.

Now it has passed a couple of days since I wrote this (and it’s been really great days). I never posted this because I knew I’d would regret it a bit. Just sounds like I’m whining like a 15 year old girl. But it is things I think about, I’m just not sure if it things I should share like this.

But If I’m going to continue to post photos from my new life here, I want to add these kind of things to it. Often everything looks so great on photos, just pushing all the great stuff forward. But I want to say a bit about what’s going on in my head as well as all the great stuff that’s happening.

I went to lund to develop my double-exposed film. Sunny day and the sky was clear,
I walked around in Lund, and just kept thinking “Why did I leave this city?”
It’s been such an awesome year (1,5 year actually). And it feels like it’s coming to an end,
the first step was to temporary move to Malmö.
Next month I’ll be moving further. A lot further.
I’m going to miss this time I had in Skåne. But new adventures awaits!
