It's all good

It’s all good

So, this will be a superficial post – but it might be important. When I was younger I didn’t like that I had brown eyes. I don’t really know why. I bought green and blue contact lenses to cover them up. It’s very sad, when I think about it, but luckily I got over it. And during the same period, around 13-15 years old, I didn’t like my freckles either. I covered my whole face in a thick layer of…

The traveling blogger

Last nights sunset from my kitchen window in Plassey Village Didn’t think I’d be sitting in an airport blogging. I’m bored and my flight is leaving in 1,5 hours. I feel like a typical modern 16 year old – taking every chance to talk about myself in the open sphere. I might be 28, but I’m 16 at heart I guess. And I’m totally digging this internet thing – what a hoot! It’s was chilly this morning…

& how I spend my time (currently in Limerick)

I’m currently studying in Limerick, for the last semester of my program. A part of one course (introduction to Social Media) is to start your own blog. Feel free to check that out.

What's my age again?

We've hosted 4 people in total in our home. The first two from England and France, and the second two from the US. And I've hung out with Nicole, just yesterday, from the US - also via Couchsurfing. I have had such an amazing time with all of these people. Just amazing.

Of course, I compare my everyday life to theirs, and differences between how people live in their country vs Sweden. Which was very interesting, and I've learned a lot from having those discussions. And a lot more about the political systems.

After that comparison, I am on one hand very happy that I live in Sweden - it's free to study, it is very safe - low on crimes, we've got a good health care system, we have loads of nature and healthy foods, and we are concerned about the environment (we could be MUCH better though). But there's one thing that is annoying me about Sweden. Our view of age. Of course, not everyone has the same ideas of what an "old person" is, or when you stop being "young", but since I've lived here for all my life - I can surely say that people have a totally different idea of what it is to be young, here in Sweden.

I am very, very tired of hearing that I am old. And that me AND my fellow friends - the same age - are old. I am 26. And I am very tired of me getting influenced by ideas that I don't even stand for - thinking that I am "old". So, meeting these people has change my view a lot. My thought on my life has always been to have fun though, and to not do as other says "just because". And it seems like these people I've met through Couchsurfing has the same idea. But here in Sweden, I get questions like "when are you going to have a baby?" (related to my age), and for the last year I've been bombarded with letters (from companies) about me having to choose where I want to save my pension money - and that I should start thinking about that now. People are getting stressed because of this youth pressure, and stressed about having a serious job as soon as possible after university, or even after high school. And, of course, one could see that in America as well - with the desperation for youth, thought to be found in plastic surgery (we have that here too).

So, in conclusion, I feel so much younger (I feel like -just- me now, not "me and I'm old"), and more alive, after hanging out with these people. I look forward seeing the world, and to meet more wonderful people. And  to continue my path on feeling young again, and stop listening to people telling me that I am old.
