; the ritual before my birthday

It's been a while since I wrote for the first time in my blog and so today I wanted to share some thoughts (if anyone ever read this besides me lol).

Yesterday I was feeling a little low or something because of my birthday, I felt like I didn't do anything relevant in the last year so I wanted to take a walk and clear my mind. I visited some places that I considered "important" for me, places in which occurred the most relevant events last year so I could remember clearly those special moments.

There's a self-battle I've been struggling with and I thought it was the right time to end it. I took my camera, a book, and started my little tour. I tried to be conscious and let go of everything that once made me happy, I tried to forgive the people I needed to forgive, and thank for everything I was thankful for.

I don't really know what awaits for me this year, and I don't think I wanna know either. I can only hope for the best and try to be the best version of myself.    

; fountain

So yeah, I decided to write again.

I'm not sure why I do it, but it feels just right. I've been literally hibernating my ideas for a long time. I want this new blog to really reflect what I am. But in order to do that I needed some time. I needed to think and interiorize those thoughts.

I think the source of happiness and sadness is very related to love. I had a rough time at the end of last year and all I needed was a "fountain of inspiration" to get my things together and start a new cycle in my life.

That fountain happened to be iamamiwhoami new video/song. I think it's an accurate way to picture a proper end to flourish into a whole new thing. I was socked by the subtlety of the video, which represents a beautiful way of saying goodbye to everything one is to begin all over again. A fresh start with no rules but love.

I named it "Dreamy shelter" in Norwegian because Norway is a nordic country, so it is a way to connect my blog to all the mythologies, nature and feeling of the nordic culture. I'm not part of it but I want it to be part of me. I have this idea that every nordic thing has some kind of ethereal aura that promises peace. I want my blog to have that feeling for me to be comfortable whenever I post; and also to transmit warmth to the people who stop by. I want it to last, I need it to last; so I'll make my best effort to post as often as I can.

I have tendencies for music and photography, they are an important part of my life, so I think you'll see a lot of stories about my inner/outer world accompanied by songs and photos.

Meanwhile, enjoy my fountain of inspiration. The new single by iamamiwhoami.
