I am lucky!

I'm lucky to live in a part of the world where I can be myself. I can do the things I want to do. I can go to school, I can live how I want, I can be with the people I want, I can think what I want and say what I want. Norway is a country that helps the people who live here. Not always perfect, but better than many other countries.

Thanks to help from the gouvernment I got equipment so I could go to school, study and learb to love knowledge. I'm able to practice and work with Martial Arts, despite being blind. This is thanks to the system and wonderful people I'm lucky enough to get to meet. I'm so lucky with my work. I travel around Norway, doing one of the things I love - Martial Arts. I get to help make it easier for people with different disabilities to start and continue practicing Martial Arts. 

Traveling is one of my favourite things to do. Meeting people, experiencing new places, new smells and taste new food. I travel mostly in Norway, which is great. Norway has a lot to offer. Not only things to see, but also things for me who can't see. The feeling I get when I come to other parts of Norway and hear the different dialects is overwhelming. I love it! 

I have been in some other countries as well. I've visited Sweden and Denmark several times - both amazing countries. I love the food, the languages and the people. I have been a couple of times in England. This is a country I wish to experience more of, but not alone. It is a big country and I find it difficult and a bit scary, just thinking about going there by myself. Greece is another country I've been a few times. I love the sun, the smells and the food! This is a country I would never travel to by myself, bit I'd like to go back with people I trust. The furthest away I've ever been is Japan. I went there with a friend of mine. This was amazing. The smells, the food, the people, the language and everything we experienced! We even met an American. A man from California. He has become a close friend of mine. This was a unexpected delight from our trip.

In Norway I can live without the fear of war or constant violence. I can walk safely by myself. I can even get lost without having to fear for my life. I've walked several times and not paid attention. This has lead to me getting to places I don't know where are. Lubkily I can ask the people I find and they usually tell me where to go, to get back to where I'm used to walking. 


I can love who I want. In many countries this is not the instance. In Norway you can love people of the same gender, the opposite gender or just nor care about gender at all. This is a freedom I feel everyone should have. Sadly this is not the case, many places in the world. In Norway it is legal, and that is fantastic.

The smallest things

In a good period it is important to enjoy as much as you can. You should do as many things that bring you joy. A problem is that a small thing can ruin the good mindset. When a thing, either small or big, happens it may cayse your entire line of happy thoughts to come crashing down into the ground. This does not have to be a thing that relates to your depression or life in any way, but it is still enough.  When such a thing occures it is difficult to retrieve the positive emotions, but it is not impossible. Let your emotions come to light. Do not be afraid to tear up or do what you need to do.  When you have let your feelings show you can try to do something you usually like to do. It might not seem like it will give you joy, but try! It might be wise to talk to someone. Either a trained professional, a friend or family. Talk to someone you feel free to open up to. This was just a small tip from me. I try following this tip myself, but it is not easy.

Losing is not losing!

When I teach Martial Arts to kids I like to ask them what is most important. They often give me the answer "winning". If they give me that answer I tell them, no. I tell them the two most important things is being friends with the other students and never giving up.  I've lost many times in many different ways, but I do not view it asa big loss. The biggest loss to myself would be if I gave up. If I let myself stay down after something knobked me down. I try to always get up and keep moving on. When I move forward in my life I am happy. I often take long ways to get just a bit forward, but the journey is giving me so much. I am happy to learn. I learn a lot from my mistakes, and a lot from losing competitions or other endevours.  It's not easy to continue is you feel like yjere is no hope. In my mind there is always hope. I like to say that if there is life there is hope. I might not be able to fly by myself, but thanks to the inventions of mankind, I can s

Bullied for a lomg time

I was bullied. All through all 10 years of elementary school and all through high school. I was bullied by the cool kids, my friends and the other kids. I was bullied because I was a nerd,my red hair, freckles, my taste of music, the fact I was unable to roll the r’s when speeking. I was not an athletic kid and I was not good at the creative subjects. I was also bullied for being diabetic and when I started losing my sight I was bullied for this as well. Ever since I was a young kid I have had thoughts about death. I was not sure if my life was worth living. I was bullied at school, in my spare time and when the internet was getting common I was bullied there as well. It got so bad we went to the police with links, pictures and pages, all of hurtfull, bullying comments. We never heard anything from the police. This made me question if I had any worth in the world. I thought to myself «The police helps people that’s worth something, so I’m not. I started eating to not feel sad.
