School started, and so did the commuting. I’m really grateful that I decided to get an iPad now. I have our schedule synced in the calendar, I can easily make notes without wasting paper and I have some entertainment while traveling to and from school!

» Day 30

This is my friend Andreas, and I am so grateful having met him. He is the kindest, most unselfish person ever. I can be completely myself around him and he accepts me and likes me for being me. He’s always there to listen, give advice and make me feel happy again. He’s always ready to help out with computer problems or camera problems, and he lends stuff without hesitation. We have so much fun no matter what we do and he’s just an amazing person and awesome friend.

» Day 31

I sat at a café, in a dark corner, by myself with a cup of tea reading Edgar Allan Poe. Just relaxed and enjoyed myself. It was nice :)

» Day 32

I cannot really grasp it yet, it’s hard to wrap my head around it but.. I am really studying to become a professional photographer. I now go to school everyday, meet my class and everything we do it photo related! It’s so much fun and I am ever grateful for this opportunity and I will cherish it dearly!

» Day 33

The second year students of photography had arranged a party for us “newbies”. It was really great and a lot of fun! Got to talk more to other people in the class, and me and Nadim (whom I’ve become good friends with) had a lot of fun. The other students were great, asking us how it all felt and answered our questions about the education and stuff. Also it was nice music and some food! Really glad they arranged it :D

» Day 34

Had such a hard time choosing a picture from today, cause I took a lot. Linn came to Gothenburg from Jönköping, and we met up with Andreas, Jon and Kim + a friend of Linn’s. Then we ate at pizza hut, did some shopping at a huge second hand store, had some coffé and then we did some grocery shopping – all while having a lot of fun. Then we met up with some more people and went to Andreas place for an awsome party. Lot’s do drink, both wine and beer and cocktails and what not. 2 people made awsome homemade pizza (pizza again!) which was supertasty. We listened to great and fun music, played Yoshi’s Island, Little Big Planet and Worms, enjoyed each others company and smoked a lot of hookah (hence the picture). It was a great mix of great people and I’m grateful to know them all, that I can have so much fun with them and that all of them got along so well. Also grateful to Andreas (again, or well, all the time!) for him letting us party at his place, cause it was a mess later…

» Day 35

Grateful for my second hand finds, and that I now shop second hand a lot. It’s economical and  it exists a lot of great stuff out there! I got a nice, knitted sweater which can be seen here + a lovely leather wallet and purse!

The 365 Grateful project is something I recently started, mostly in order to make me feel better and become a better person. The goal is to take one picture every day of something I am grateful for, for an entire year. I hope my photography will evolve along with this. I got this tip from a friend, who showed me a video of the first girl who started 365 Grateful. Check out the video about the original project.

» Day 15

I went to Gothenburg today to hang with a friend and shop some stuff. I just love that city, and how close it is to mine and how easy it is to go there. Buses and trains between my town and this go very regularly.  One day I want to move to Gothenburg.

» Day 16

My friend Hanna asked if we could grab a coffee today, which was very much appreciated since it was such a long time since we met, and we do not get to meet very often these days due to us being rather busy with our lives. So it was nice to meet and catch up!

» Day 17

Grateful for the “zen-mode” I had today with photography. That feeling which I wrote about here, which resulted in this and this. (lot’s of links in once sentence, woo). I am really pleased with the results from that shoot, and a  lot of other people seem to dig it too – thank you!

» Day 18

(lol boring picture). Anyway. I am a nerd, and I’m proud of it. I can have so much fun playing and skyping with friends, which is great. I did that this evening, and in the end I laughed so much that I cried, cause we were having so much fun on skype and with the game and all. Woo~~

» Day 19

There are some places that really trigger memories. Which can be both hard and sad, yet I am grateful for it. It’s good to feel and remember stuff, even the bad.  Memories and feelings of old times, events and people are important in so many ways. It has shaped me into who I am now, and we should not forget stuff like that. Ever.

» Day 20

I got invited to a party involving playing some tv-games (Street Fighter 4) which was just awsome. There were some really great, friendly and fun people there, good stuff to eat and drink and it sure was a lot of fun to play against each other, even though I didn’t do very well haha! Later we watched some horror movies, until like 5 in the morning, which was also pretty freakin’ awsome! Thanks to my friend Andreas for bringning me along, and for the host Peter!

» Day 21

I’d been sleeping way to few hours the last two nights, and I was also a bit hungover heh ^^” (standard sunday mode?) so I was just grateful for my own bed and to get some sleep today! XD

So, I cought a cold, and my throat always get’s worst, been like that ever since I had the “kissing disease”. So, been drinking a lot of tea today, and all week – and I am grateful for how tasty it is, that I have lot’s of different flavors and that it actually helps against a sore throat.

» Day 9

Once again it struck me how beautiful and inspiring light can be, how it lifts my mood up and gives me lot of ideas when it comes to photography. Thank you dear light!

» Day 10

Grateful for all the tools of organization that’s out there, and for the fact that I actually find it loads of fun to organize my calendar, write things up etc. Also, tremendously grateful for the fact that I now have a good reason to get more organized: I got accepted into a school of photography, it was the second year in a row that I applied to it, and this time I made it. So for 2 years, I’ll study to become a photographer – I’m so excited (and organized)!

» Day 11

So grateful for my friend Emmie, and that she’s back in town. She’s one of my best friends, and I love her so. We hade  a nice day in town, ate sushi for lunch and later grabbed a coffee. Just a really nice day with a really nice person. Also, shooting polaroid rocks! :D (yes, real polaroid, that I scanned)

» Day 12

Alone time, I’m grateful for whenever I get, and that I am one of those that can actually really enjoy it. Sometimes I even want it, this evening was one of those occasions. My parents went to a local pub, and I decided to stay home. I scrubbed my face, did a vapour bath for it, as well as a facial mask. Then I lit some candles, poured me a glass of red and made a nice omelette for my self, all while listening to soft, cosy music and just relaxing.

» Day 13

So grateful that I got to attend the wedding day of Marna & Andreas, as their wedding photographer. They’re such a lovely couple, they looked stunngn and we had a lot of fun during our shoot, which turned out awsome. It was a great day full of sunshine and joy. Thank You for letting me be a part of it, and I wish you all the best. Congratulations once again on your marriage!

» Day 14

                                                     (crappy phone picture woo)

Got tattooed today, by a friend of mine that’s started practicing to become a tattoo artist. I really appreciates the kind of art that tattoos are, and this was my forth one. On my right wrist, it says “winterwind” in japanese. I already have  tattoo in japanese on my left wrist. It’s not done on the pic above – showing a better pic later. I love it though and it feels great to have both wrists tattooed (finually!), it creates more balance – something which is important to me. Any who, always nice to spend your Sunday with getting tattooed.

I woke up to the sound of rain, pattering against my window. A sound I love so much, it’s cosy and generates a feeling of tranquility. Such a nice start of the day and week, I will always be grateful for rain!

» Day 2

Grateful for my vivid imagination and my artistic vision. My friend did not see what I saw in these clouds haha.

» Day 3

Early in the morning (like, Really early!) while the sun is still rising, it shines through a bottle in my window creating this amazing light with a lovely, warm color (it’s not photoshopped). I just love the sun and light, creating colors and patterns and creating new dimensions in the most plain places, it is so beautiful and I am grateful that I get to see it, that I notice it and can capture it on “film” (digitally).

» Day 4

This day, I realized how grateful I am for water. I do drink a lot of water, I always keep some in my room. Nothing beats really cold water! I find it really tasty, just as it is. It’s also tasty to drink water while eating choclate (true story!) and it cures headaches and thirst as well, how awsome is that? It’s also very pretty but I did not find a good way to photograph it at home.

» Day 5

Grateful for how close I have to town, and how wonderful it is to meet a friend and grab a coffé and just sit down (which I did on this day), watch people and talk about absolutely everything and nothing. So relaxed, so pleasant and undemanding. It’s so nice to ventilate thoughts and opinions, get some feedback, laugh and have a good time. Thanks to all my friend whom I can do this with, I am grateful beyond words for this.

» Day 6

I love to walk, which I did today. I am truly grateful for the fact that I like it so much, and that I actually do it instead of taking the bus and such. It feels great, for both body and mind. On the way home from a friend, everything was magically peaceful. I did not see nor hear any car or person, just my steps against the pavement and the rustling of leaves in the wind. I suddenly felt.. much more and I did not only look at things, I saw them, in a whole new way. Very hard to describe but it was an amazing moment which I will always cherish.

» Day 7

Today I was grateful for such a simple thing as a nice and cosy sweater. It’s my newest second hand find and well.. it saved me today on this gray and rainy sunday, on which I’ve felt sick since I’ve unfortunately cought a cold (I look pretty tired, hope my bags under the eyes go away soon…). Cosy, knitted sweaters are the best (especially if you find them on some second hand store) !
