A good night with a good friend
It is so weird that just two months ago we hardly knew each other and today she has become a very close friend of mine, whose become a big and an important part of my life. She is amazing in every single way. & it sucks that I am leaving right in the beginning of our little "romance", but I will see her California (hopefully!) and if not, well i will just have to miss you until mid January! :)
my mom.
Yesterday my mom and my little sister and I went out on a boatride around the Stockholms skärgård. It was so nice! Sweden is so gorgeous! But most importantly, so is my mom. I am going to miss my mom so much when I leave. She is just amazing in every single way. I know you usually say that, but she doesn't have a flaw! I can't believe she is 59 years old and looks like this. I'll be so lucky if I look like her when Im 40! :) there is nothing I am more thankful for than my relationship with her. I love her.

An Early Saturday!
Compliments. Compliments are easy. Sometimes compliments are just made for the sake of courtesy. Some you take to the heart, some are just an everyday passing comments. Some compliments you remember for the rest of your life. Some compliments you are given, subconciously defines the person that gave them to you. Do you want to know what I like most about compliments? I like the fact they do nothing then cheer people up. Doesn't matter if people find them "fake" and that person "fake"; Because for that slightest moment when they are given that compliment, it does trigger your "happiness" neurons in your brain and your heart does smile for a second. Because no matter if they really mean the compliment or not, you still take it to heart, in hoping that it is true! I love compliments and I do love complimenting people when I see them, because 99% of the time there is at least one thing that I like about that person, it can be something they are wearing, something they just have done or succeeded with or just how they look that day, so why not then throw them that extra compliment? Why think to yourself "She looks great today! is it her hair?" and why don't you express it?

early bird!

Then it was Stocken time! Unfortunately, my last Stocken before I leave for San Diego. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S 9 DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE? Crazy!
Well I was up the entire night with the worst fever and sweating flods and my stomach wasn't doing too well either. At the verge of dying at around 4 am, Henrik calls me! :) That always puts me in a good mood and helped my body rehabilitate itself. He is my nervecalmer! Whilst I was speaking to Henrik I went for the most amazing autumn walk at 6 am, the sun was just coming up and the air was amazingly cool and the temperature was perfect from the sun. It is these moments where I just love autumn, other ew. Then I got home at around 8am had my breakfast called my mom and then did my laundry and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen at the same time! Now I have spinning in 2 hours and then it is IKEA at 4! Waho! Then some very much just friends cozy loving time tonight. See how much you get done by just getting out of bed at a normal hour? :)

Chugging and tugging
It is bright and shine early! I have literally woken up about 37 times throughout my sleep because i was so nervous that I was going to miss my appointment at the Embassy, which I have in 35 minutes. Luckily, I It is just 3 minutes away from where I live! Now I am chugging coffee so that I will be able to stay awake through my interviews! I really do hope I get my visa on time so that I can leave on the 25th and see my Henkini! Waaaawee!!!

a different kind of love
I just wanted to say that I miss my Madeleine Browning very much. I get in to these moods and I just look through photos of us and just sit there laughing out loud, mostly because all our pictures are retarded and because we are always laughing. I can't wait to be in the same country as her again! It may not be in the same city, but I at least don't have to fly for an entire day if I have a maddy-meltdown! So today I just wanted to say that I miss her. And that I am literally hurting in my abs from all the laughing. Nobody is like her. Nobody is like us. Good thing we found each other! :)

Two to tango
After an inspiring weekend in Stockholm, I am back in Uppsala to get rolling again. It is early and I am sitting here with my tea and thinking about life and everything in it. But to be more specific, I am thinking about love. What is so confusing when you start to think about love is that it is such an evil swirl. You just keep swirling further and further down. Because usually, you won't have the answer. You want to have the answer, because you are told that "you can only find it within yourself and as long as you know what you are doing then it is fine". But here is the beauty of love ladies and genetlemen, there is absolutely nothing you can do. You can fight for yourself, so that you feel that you have done everything that you possibly could, but you can never do something on your own when it involves another person. It takes two to tango... So it doesn't matter if you are trying to work out the best way to make 30000 miles seem shorter, trying to come back to where you once were before you cheated or just simple trying to make a relationship work. Because as long as you are doing it on your own, you will get nowhere, at least not in your relationship. So the next time you say "Well I have done everything I can." Think to yourself; has your partner done everything they can? and to tell you the truth, most probably... Because otherwise they wouldn't be in this relationship. Because why would someone love you and yet not walk that extra mile? So of course they have!!! But, it is maybe just not as far as you would have hoped them to walk for you. That is what it is, this is what relationships are all about. So stop putting down all those extra miles you are walking for someone who is not and start walking them for yourself and sooner or later you will find someone who is walking those miles next to you.
