Roar in the Afterglow

Hey, Its been a while. I've been very busy lately and simply haven't had the full open evening to sit down and write, and thats the thing with me, If I cant write without a rush to finish, I simply wont take the creative path.. it just not the same. Right now (after weeks) I do however have the time (finally), just not that flow Im afraid (a certain mood is needed when tackling a deeper topic that lays on my mind. But sometimes I just want to write, just for the fun of it. or because I missed it.. Anyway. I thought of writing a little bit about what I`ve been up to lately. That might always be an interesting side note- as I rarely mention my day to day life, as it is, right now- out on no adventure (other than the one life offers of course). So, first of all- I started my new job in book publishing (where I got in thanks to something I would refer to as a mixture of a lot of hard work and some lucky "how could this possibly have happened" strokes). After much

A few years back I wrote about healthy love- and how to know if you found it, I gave an example I use; Empty room, Travelling the world (and life) and your own feeling (do you feel happy ?).  To be able to answer these questions time is needed, unless we of course are thinking of someone who is down right hurtful, and after experiences and self growth we learn (step by step) to let go- and stay away from them..we can read faster...  ....But, all people aren't bad (even though I am far too familiar with the fear and worry). There are so many good people out there, they are good- even though they might have some growing to do, they are good- even if they might not be right for us- what we need, and what we deserve. Individuals needs do not always match- that is the reality of life, and No, people arent like puzzle pieces.. and it is when we grow and learn to see our own weaknesses and others- that we realise that we have to stop expecting for prince perfect (he is human too). But

What defines us as adults, what really says that we "Made It" ? Based on how the world is rolling, how expectations of success and its meaning is built up in our mind, our society.. It's a career isn't it ? It's a plan, it's a house, it's money, it's Linkedin.. it's a desk, it's a title, it's a Volvo with the perfect quota of kids....  Or is it ? Is it the milestones, or is it the journey ?. And which journey..? The one where we lift the bricks and build our way to the top ? The journey where we want to fit in.. Or is the life laid in-between and under, the space behind the stage ?  The learning from our mistakes, the making of mistakes, accepting our flaws, living with them, acknowledging them? Acknowledging others around us.  Not hiding behind a mask- But truly living. Building (by listening and learning) the bricks to our own unique perfectly imperfect self, to the best selves that we can be.. laughing,  stopping, listening, feeli

It's a new year, and I just heard seagulls outside my window, I always assumed that they were closer too the sea, but maybe it's a sign for where this year is taking me, bringing me back home and closer to whom I was always meant to be, the sounds I hear- masts in the harbor singing in the wind, the fresh air against rock and the ray of sun that spreads its wings. I might not be there, but I will listen to its call, this year I'm breathing and in every moment find what I was searching for. home, peace and calm
