It's getting personal

Welcome to my new blog. There are several reasons why I decided on a different website. Without getting into too many details the website where I had my previous blog contained too many ads and didn't always behave reliably. Secondly, I want to make my blog more personal, and I want to make the information available only to certain people. Not everyone is allowed into my personal sphere. So if you're reading this you belong to a small but exclusive group. Congratulations. ;-) Perhaps not super personal information, but spring is my absolute favorite season. Especially a year like this when there's an explosion of buds, birds, colors, and emotions. It's incredibly beautiful! I like fall too, but there's always such melancholy lingering in the air because you know that soon the leaves will fall off, the birds will disappear, the colors will vanish and the emotions will be packed and stored away in the long, cold and dark Swedish winter.

Nerd alert!

Be completely honest. What do you think about when you hear the word nerd ? What do you see in front of you? Perhaps this? Of course it's a guy. A white guy. With glasses.

However, I love ice-hockey. So how can I so audaciously claim to be a nerd? In case you didn't know, the definition of a nerd is much broader than the generali

Today is tomorrow

I live in the future. Maybe not all the time, but since I love dreaming about the future, making plans and taking action, my head is constantly several steps ahead of time. It's as if I'm attached to a rubber string connected to myself in the future and it's constantly pulling me forward. If I don't have any goals to strive towards, I feel lost. Consequently, I always have a thousand projects going on at the same time. I have to, and want to, complete them all. I'm a dreamer and a doer. Being under stimulated and having too little to do is one of my worst fears. I'd rather be involved in too much and be exhausted, than having no projects or responsibilities. The combination of a rich inner life, with an abundance of ideas and an ability to channel all of this energy into concrete projects, is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I get a lot of things done and I get satisfaction from this, and a curse because I can never really relax. Additionally, bein
