When the walls are getting closer, break them (you are worth love)



To someone in a panic:

Sometimes we dwell on things, we keep them in. After a long time we want to run, run away, but we feel like we can`t, we are stuck. We are torn. Sometimes I felt like I could not breathe, I was suffocating. 

Start by concentrating on your breathing, be there for you. Try to loosen up, get rid of that tension. You are here, and You are here with You. You are here for You. It might take time, and it might not work the first time, or even the third. But I know you can do it. If the releasing of the tension causes tears, let it, do not push them back, remember, you are here for You and so are your tears. 

Also, Do not close up, do not leave yourself alone with your emotions and fears.

Talk to somebody,
and I know that it might feel like you can`t , like you shouldn't. You might think that you do not want to worry them or drag them into this, Or that they would not understand.

But no matter what is on your mind, you should,

You are not obligated to suffer.

And I promise you, once you talk, somebody will listen. 


I know that you might find yourself in a place where you are not heard even if you told about that pain and the reason for it. I have been there, I have been taken to that point where I panic, he has taken me into his arms and told be to calm down, everything will be okey, I need to stop worrying, and then, sometimes just moments after that I have been let down. I have been scared.

I have gone into panic again and he has asked, What is it now then ? I have tried to calm myself down, still trying to relay on those arms. Then, I have been let down again.

I have cried more silently, even during the most closest of closeness, and he has asked; Do you Always have to Cry ?

Slowly I started to fall into silence

Silence is worse than acting out in panic, Panic is a sign out to the world that you want and need to be heard, that you do not accept.

Never Accept.


If you find yourself here, in a situation where you despite speaking up are repeatedly closed down. Call somebody, anybody. I wish I had. If you feel that there is no one you know that you could call, Call a help-line, they are there for you. There is nothing that you could say that would make them judge you, you do not have to feel ashamed because there is Nothing to be shamed of. You are worth Safety, You are worth someone who does not hurt you, someone who Cares, Listens and Respects You.

You are worth Love.

Are you not lonely ? (and my stay in a small bothy at the Isle of Canna)

Loneliness for me is a common feeling while travelling solo, don't think (when you are following my adventures on social media) that I am immune to it. I like the solitude at times, and it builds a stronger relationship with myself, to do this on my own that is, but I often wish I had found my companion.  I keep turning every rock, stair into wells to see a reflection next to me, stay open minded and socialise at home. I wander to all corners of the world, I am on all the apps- talk to locals. I am not shy. But so far he has not been found. I have (in moments of hilarious lighthearted desperation) even tried to go back in time Outlander style, if he is not in 2024, maybe in 1878. Perhaps a man from the Bridgerton era. Times are tough, and there are not plenty of available healthy mature fish in the sea, perhaps an old tire, but fish- well most of them have been caught by now, or they were let back into the sea for a reason. The trash never even made it to shore, people do not want ...

Little Sparrow (about self perception)

I wanted to write down something about self perception. How our looks, physical strength and the way we sound and come across to others, affect the way we see ourselves, how we feel about ourselves. My mission here was not to write about the make-up on our face or that eye catching dress we could wear. But rather the people...humans we are. The ones we will always be. For a long time I had quite a low confidence. That low confidence came from how I perceived myself, and I still struggle with that from time to time. You see I knew I was small, short, clumsy, sometimes a bit chubby (boys nickname for me in Pre-school was Christmas ham) and later just small as a twig. I had struggles in finding that voice inside, and when I did I was afraid that that voice was too big- not suitable to this body of mine. I was afraid of being too loud.. too annoying.. I became quiet...awkward... and at moments invisible trying to keep the awkwardness away from daylight. Sometimes it sprang...

To learn to see all of you with new eyes (self perception after leaving an abusive relationship)

I am sitting here on the floor with a cup of tea in my hands, wiggling my toes. The mirror is right in front om me and my newly washed hair makes me look like a natural Aretha Franklin or a very fluffy Chewbacca, both probably equally as cute. It feels quite nice to be able to sit here with myself like this, to just be here, here with me. For a long time I could not. I avoided mirrors, I could not look into her eyes.  The humiliation had made me vulnerable, I felt ashamed, did not want to see her, me, and I also avoided facing the truth, the pain I knew I could see in my eyes. I want to explain what I meant by "Thank You for Humiliating me, for I have learned to see my own beauty" in my post Thank You . As I told before, he pushed me into things I did not want to do. As the years went by I fell into silence I stopped having an own opinion or to say it out loud. I accepted that this was the only kind of closeness that I would get, so though it hurt that he treated me tha...
