Good things take time (when looking for that future someone)

In the last post I`ve written a lot about family, me thinking about my own future family, my kids and their safety and well being and so on. Well that mixed with I miss you but please don't show up yet, might have gotten a bit confusing.. (?) At least I started to be a bit confused on what I was really trying to say, and not get to much lost of track, or this path that I'm trying to follow.

And No, I don't want engagement, marriage, kids or even a relationship yet, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't keep my eyes open. Because you never know..


Well, anyway. Here`s my view about that (or my idea of a healthy approach when looking for that future someone);

Friends first, always *. That way you can get to know someone as they are, slowly. Take time to do that. As I said so many times before, at least I feel that I need that time. Both to just be and grow to be whole, but also to get time to know people around me.

I don't think you should search for a relationship as a solution to not wanting to be alone. I'm not looking for a relationship I'm looking for a person. And to know that you found that person, that takes time. After that it might, slowly turn in to something more.

Don't be in a relationship with someone because you feel that you need to, do it because you realised that you truly want to. That is right both to that person and yourself. Be honest and truthful in your intentions. Don't be in a relationship with someone just to see where this is going.

And for myself, I'm looking for that one person, so when you know that we are getting more serious, I'm really being serious, I don't want to play around.

 So what kind of person am I looking for ?

I could go on and on about the world travelling, backpacking, hiking, sporty, hipsterish guy who has his feet on the ground but is open to adventures change, has an education, likes to cook, open to languages and is good with kids... Haha :D But the honest mature truth is this, If  he does or doesn't fit " those qualities", it doesn't matter, What matters is;  Someone who has is together (and to face your weakness is a part of that too), someone with empathy, kindness and some sort of understanding about how to prepare for and build a good healthy and safe future.


As most of us, I'm looking for that person I want to wake up next to every morning, someone who will catch me if I fall and someone who lets me help them too,
someone to share a future life with.

Goodnight <3

Go - Do it for You (about the fear of solo-travel, not about crossing the Serengeti)

Solo-travel and exploring on your own often seems to be something that's considered too big of  an hurdle, an  uncomfortable area we`d rather avoid. As wolves we are more comfortable in a pack. I used to think like this myself. The thing is however, that we often (as singles in a busy world) find ourselves alone when we would have the time for an adventure. Schedules don't fit.  - Then there's of-course the differences in interests as well, and as being without a partner no one is  "obligated" (please take with sarcasm :D) to go with you on your holiday to extraordinary locations and events.  But hey, that said; - what a perfect time for you to do exactly what you always dreamed of ! All I want to say is go for it.   Don't sit around waiting for "maybe another time" due to the fear, and I'm not talking about the fear of being scared that something might happen on the way (that doesn't seem to be the first thing that pops into

Grandpas legacy

My grandpa passed away some years ago. For a long time during my teenage years and some into adulthood I felt light-years away from him, in our morals and teachings to follow. I was only looking at him like a priest, with his bible, a hungry need for being in the spotlight (he was a well liked radio host, preacher, author, playwright, ceremony holder, documentary film maker, pilgrim arranger, met the pope once- you name it). When I was feeling down at the age of 17 he wrote me a letter about watching more of TV7 (a local conservative evangelical christian channel), he told me it made his days brighter and that I should try it too. PS. He was not conservative, I think. We never talked much- not really. He had 3 grandchildren.  I do not think that he ever really knew me, and neither did I take my time to view him as a person behind the priesthood which he so often talked about . But when I look back on him now- as I found myself and stand supported, I can see past the job he had chosen (

To all my busy friends, show up in my life too- it matters

I would run cartwheels right where I stood if you showed up at my doorstep, if you suddenly sat in the audience during my Indian dance or Improv theater performance.  I would remember it forever if you showed up at the airport to say goodbye for now or welcome back,  I would love for you to ask me where in the world I am at.  I would love for you to reach out to me and ask us to read the same book simultaneously and then meet over coffee to share our thoughts, It doesn't take much time out of your schedule or much effort of sorts, just a suggestion, a thought.  I would love to go out for a joint run or jog- maybe for once right here in my hood- you could use my studio apartments little one person shower,  My home, my little wonderful life- You know you are welcome here too.  Meet me in my life, see where I live and what I do, it might not be marriage and children, or a big suburban house with a yard, but it is me, your friend- still hanging on at the other end.  Someone who shows u
