It’s a Sunday afternoon, and the rain is dripping down the window. After a week of excellent sunshine, it’s a very grey and overcast day where it’s good to stay indoors.
One of those days where there is nothing that needs to be done, work is off, the apartment clean, and it’s just one of those days where I have all the time to myself. So it gives me time to think about where I am what I want to do and what the future holds.
It was a severe winter.
I remember the snow started the beginning of November and only ended last month, it was like a winter from Game Of Thrones. The summer is finally here, and I know that before I can imagine the winter will be arriving again, and it would be another six or seven months of darkness and cold. I can take for granted why Swedish people love summer so much. I will certainly be enjoying every single opportunity that I can to explore this country.
But as my mind is dancing in the pleasure of the summer sunshine I will be thinking about the future essentially after December. One thing I have learned is that we can get trapped into the routine of life where each day, week and month seems the same. Suddenly something will happen that will crash over me like a tidal wave and make everything just turn upside down.
Of course, there is a lot weighing on my mind at times I always think about an impending return to the UK. Surely because I know that this working in Sweden may not last forever but as each month passes that I am here I realised that I feel more and more and Sweden than anywhere else in the world.
If the situation should arise why I do find myself suddenly having to go back to the United Kingdom then, I think that I will fight all I can to stay in Sweden. Because Sweden not has only not just captivated my heart and it’s giving me a release of creativity never felt before.
There are some things in life that we submit to without even trying. If there is something that you want if there is something that you love, and that you believe in then I swear you should fight for it.
You do only live once in life and sometimes you just have to turn your head to what life throws at you and say “no I’m not doing what you want today.” I’m doing this for me. You just have to believe in what you feel is the best choice no matter how hard it can be.
The future may change for the worse, or for the better but if there is something that you believe in you just have to go for it.
Yes! Fight! I think we should feel lucky when we know what we want to fight for!
It’s not easy. Finding out, recognizing and remembering what’s important and worth fighting for!
Best of luck!
