Sweden week two - Moving towards or away

I'm writing here from week four in Sweden, looking back on the last few weeks.

I think the main need for me to take photos on my little journeys is so that I can later recognize for myself what I did, where I was, how I felt. How beautiful the places actually are. Often my experience is too blurred and affected by my emotions and personal view of the world in those moments. Everything I see, I see from my personal perspective, personal desires and wishes, avoidance strategies and deep contact with myself. This is very irritating and I am not always able to face myself and the tornado behind me.

I've made a firm commitment to myself to be really brave as often as I can and to turn around and look at this tornado and just observe it, get closer to it.

One day I really want to make completely free decisions, not away from something, but towards everything, completely in curiosity.

If you're interested in my trip, you can get more day-to-day insights on Instagram in the stories and highlights!

The tornado that we want to escape all the time. The tornado that means everything we never want to experience again, that scared us to death as a child. But with the tornado behind us, no decision is made freely. It may look like I'm bravely moving somewhere, but what if I'm actually just moving away from something?

So I take photos so that I can look at them later from a distance and realize how beautiful it was without the storm behind me.
