Wondering

At this moment I'm sitting in my livingroom, wondering what to write about. Suddenly I came up with the idea to just write without a clear goal. I'm in a state of mind where there is nothing wrong, but I still have a need to write something.

This weekend I spent with my parents on a mountain. It was a nice trip and the best part is getting away from the city for a little while. It is so quiet and peacefull and it really gave me a chance to think. I think I'll write a bit about some of my thoughts.

The first thing that came to mind was how luvky I am to live in a country that is not in war and a country that has a great system to help the inhabitants. The economic system is far from perfect, but it is great. In any system there are holes and things that can be improved, but thanks to the Norwegian systems I am able to live a life in which I can be myself, get an education and have a social life. I can even have the amazing job I have. There are people in Norway who has it worse than me and they should be helped more, but there aren't as many as there could be without the systems we have here. 

Another thought that came to mind was my wish to learn another language! I know Norwegian and English, which is what I absolutely need, but it would be nice to know another one! It would be nice to be able to speak to people in their native tongues! Most people speak English, but things may get lost in translation. I have also concidered learning a dead language, latin. It would be amazing to read latin texts without having to have someone translate them first. 

I also thought about silence and meditation. I like to meditate and try to do it once a day, but it's not easy to take the time. It's not really silent where I live, but it's still possible to meditate and relax. People these dayse are way to addicted to cellphones and gadgets. I don't always manage to do it, but I try to leave my phone in my poxket when I'm with other people. It's disrespectful to play with your phone instead of talking to the people you are with. I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to ever check your phone when you are with people, but not stare down at your screen the entire time. Gadgets should not replace your family or friends. 


If anyone has topics I should write about - please let me know!

Not perfect

I’m a sensitive person. I’m not afraid to cry. I avoid fighting, unless I’m fighting for people I care about. I can be an intense person. I fall in love fast. I can be shy in certain situations. I can become angry. I struggle with anxiety and depression. I am not perfect - I am me.  We are all different. Love eachother!

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....

Are you prepared to support?

When you have a friend who is sad or depressed it is easy to say that you are there for them. This might be something you say just to comfort them and it might work! But are you prepared if they try to talk to you about what's on their mind? Having a friend who struggles is not easy. You have an important role to either play or pass. Not everyone is emotionally ready to take that role. However if you choose to say that you're there for your friend, you should be ready. It is terrible if your friend has told you you can talk to them, just to meet someone who shows no interest or someone who talks about your problems like if they were insignificant.  You might be in for a ride. They might be really happy, one moment and suicidal the next. Show you want to hear what they have to say. Don't say things like you've been in a worse place, had worse times or like you know exactly how they feel or how it is to be them. These things may lead to your friend not feeling ...
