I have always wanted more than being in a comfort zone because I get bored easily. Discovering and learning new things is my nature. While everybody else love to go to movies, I would rather stay at home and watch a documentary how to do a heart surgery. Everybody thinks they know me, but actually I´m complicated even to myself. I have often difficulty making decisions, but almost 10 years ago I knew exactly what to do.
Of course my story is a love story. I was still in school and it was winter, almost spring time, when I started hanging out with this boy. We are coming from the same little island so we knew one another. We fell in love. I graduated and started working. Summer was beautiful and lot of fun. But then we faced a problem. He had to go back to Sweden. He had lived in Sweden already for 6-7 years. His family was also there and his little brother was going school there. What to do? Quit my job? Leave my life here behind, leave my friends and family? But love for him was so blinding that I didn´t fear this huge change. So I told my family that I was moving to Sweden. My mom was so against it. We talked and finally I got her blessing. I know she was scared and not happy att all. I got my drivers license and bought my one way ticket to Sweden.
Me, my dad and my youngest brother, we stayed a night at my uncles home the day before my flight. The next morning we went to the airport and I tried to check myself in, but the lady told me that they don´t have my ticket. Was this a sign that I should not go??? So I went to the info and asked if I could log in to my bank account to show them that I had purchased the ticket and finally... I got my ticket. That was a close one. I said my goodbyes with my family and was ready for my next chapter in life.
Everything you want is on the other side of fear! (Me/Sweden/2014)
When I arrived to Copenhagen my boyfriend was waiting me there. When the doors opened and he saw me, he couldn´t believe that I actually came. We where stopped on the boarder and they asked if they could go through my stuff...fine by me. One guy asked how long will I stay in Sweden. Me and my boyfriend we looked at each other, smiled and replied "We don´t know." His friend was driving, so we sat at the back of the car, his arms around me and I felt like this was definitely a right decision.
