Dear friend,
We all sometimes wish we were someone else or at least see what its like to be someone else, right? An actor, a musician, a boy, a girl, a mother, a father, a princess, a king, a circus artist, a mango lover or a really good photographer even... Who would you choose to be if you could change who you are?

ps. I wouldn't want you any other way than who you are now!
Dear Friend...

After rain comes sunshine!
Dear friend,
I made a choice yesterday, a choice to make something good of the situation I was in. I was walking home in the rain when the rain all of a sudden got really heavy, the streets was cleared in a second apart from the lucky ones who had big umbrellas (need less to say I didn't). It was like walking in a waterfall and I was absolutely soaking wet. A man in a van even put his window down and turn around to laugh at me (I probably looked like a almost drowned animal by then). And I thought at least its making someone smile...
But why wasn't I smiling? The situation wasn't that bad if you thought about it objectively. It was only water coming from the sky! It wasn't windy or cold and and I know after rain there is sunshine... soo I decided to make the most out of it. I started jumping around in the water, smiling and felt every drop from the sky like a blessing. It made everything better just thinking it was a good thing!
At the end of the day I am grateful I can feel the rain on my cheek and walk around or jump in the puddles. And after rain comes sunshine and today I saw a beautiful sunset walking from home... It really is up to yourself to make a choice in what you want life to be.
You can't control how things end up but you can control how you deal with it. Have a beautiful day my lovely! Or make it beautiful! :)

New food?
Dear friend,
I love food. I love trying new things, experimenting with recipes, eating, baking and cooking things. I love learning about food from different cultures (not just about food ;) friends and family. And I also love how food a lot of the time brings people together! I am a little bit hungry as I am writing this and this might be a bad idea talking about food but...
Once again I am curious.. What is your favourite food? Do you like cooking or baking? And is there anything in the world that I really need to try no matter what? Tell me! Just don't make it sound too good or I might start drooling! ;D

Let the circus begin!
Dear friend,
I have been thinking a lot lately. Thinking, dreaming and feeling...
I have realised that any change I might want to happen needs to be up to me (duh. I know) and me only. I have been very naive and thought that if I don't make any decisions, if I refuse to make them someone else would in the end make them for me. As if that would happen...?
But from now on I need to be honest to myself.
Even though (I admit) I am the most indecisive person in the universe, I will have to start making my own decisions. Start with the little ones and go on from there and maybe one day I will be able to take one of the big decisions in life. Maybe.
The reason I am so indecisive is because I am always scared I will choose the wrong thing. But if I am really honest to myself, who says that another person chosing FOR me or me not make a decision at all, will be right choice? Of course there is no guarantee ever that anyone makes the "right" choice... but it always makes things so much easier if I don't have to choose!! I envy someone that can make a decision in a split second and not regret it afterwards. That's absolutely impossible to even imagine in my world. I just can not do it. I would feel guilty.
It takes me forever to make my mind up for one tiny thing and then ages before I stop feeling bad and that I miiiight have made bad choice after all. Maybe it's all about trust... another thing I don't deal with very well.
It feels as though I need to start over with my thinking from now on. Push myself... Oh and I am also very stubborn so this will be great, sort of like fighting with myself haha. Let the circus (in my head) begin!

Something's just not right.
Dear friend,
I'm sorry for not keeping in touch as much as I should. Things doesn't feel right anymore and I have a lot of anger that I am scared I will use on people that don't deserve it. I know I shouldn't bottle it up, instead just talk about it to you but it's hard to know where to start when everything in your head feels like a big mess.
One minute I am really happy, the next get a lonely feeling inside. I keep wanting to change but I am to scared to let go.
Everything feels frustrating and I just wish things were a bit easier... just a little bit... enough to push myself forward. Because at the minute I feel stuck and that's very unlike me.
I don't recognize myself... something's just not right.
How are you my darling?

Crisis?
Dear friend,
I feel so lost! I don't know if this is a start of a crisis or what but I feel lost in life! All of a sudden I doubt my choices, my life, myself... Why? Why does it seem like no one else is questioning everything? Why are everyone else happy with their situation? Know exactly how they want it and never seem to regret anything? How can they not care if they won't regret anything?
Am I going mad, having a crisis or is just being confused at the minute...
I don't know to be honest. I wish I did know because I feel restless in my mind, soul and body right now. Help me my fab friend!!!
What to dooo?!

Dig a hole
Dear friend,
I found myself sitting on the beach again. Watching the waves and breathing the salty air.
My head and body feels a lot more clear now, but I've still got deep thoughts that I don't know what to do with. They show up in the most strange situations and I find it hard to deal with them right there and then. So I took another walk to the sea, it's amazing how nature can have calming powers sometimes. Maybe next time I should try to bury all bad thoughts in the sand?
It's time for a hot cup of tea now. Fancy joining me?
I want to hear all about your weekend my love.

Change my fears!
Dear friend,
We all want to change sometimes don't we? Change our style, looks, how we live, what we eat, our relations, financial situation, hair, our thoughts or even just who we are sometimes. Change for the better or what we think will be better!
Because the grass is always greener on the other side, right? ;)
I often think that I would like to change something in my life but then I often fear that it will change other things in life that I want to keep the way they are. SCARY! It's the thought of wanting to change something but the fear of it actually changing that I am often struggling with.
It's often hard to know if its something you really want to change or if you are just tired of something else in life at that moment that ANY change feels like it would make things better! I hate doing things that I regret doing later on, everyone does. Which is why my fear of changing keeps hitting me in the face over and over. If I think "I better not dye my hair black, I might regret it tomorrow" but at the same time my head keeps saying "But aren't you sick of your hair colour, wouldn't it be great to feel like you've change something big in your life like this?"
It drives me crazy. Do you think it's better to just jump and see where it takes you, or maybe slowly walk down the stairs because you are scared the fall might hurt?
What do you do with your life when you feel like changing something, my lovely?

Dear friend,
Sometimes I wonder if the world is getting a better place to live now than what it was or if people are just getting better to hide the truth. It's hard to tell!
Let's say food for example. You can never be 100% sure what's in something nowadays. Unless you grow it or make it yourself! Something’s that you make yourself might be healthy or not many ingredients but buying it in a shop will be full of additives, colorings and other bad things.
I once heard someone say "If you can read and understand the back of a product, the product is fine to have." Well with all the letters and stupid names of things it's hard to know what we are putting in our mouths. The manufacturers are pretending that 'putting another name for example gelatin will make the consumer think it's not animal fat in our sweets'. But imagine if some sweet would say:
Ingredients: Sugar, Water, Animal fat and paint.
Would we eat it? Probably not! But the scary thing is that we already eat things like that! Or at least I think I do... How do I know for sure??
I'm not gonna say it was definitely better at the time when everyone made their own food, clothes or even toilet paper because I like when things develop! And I love different cultures sharing their knowledge so I can learn more! But it was better back when people cared more I think. Where things are from, how they are prepared even how people are treated!
Have people stopped caring about things like that or are we just not bothered?
I want to care more and I really want to know more! Why aren't things simpler? I don't know what type of tree my apple fell from. Or if my strawberries were secretly shipped from a different country (does the country on the packaging mean where it was put in the box or where it was grown?). Did they use chemicals to make them look so delicious?
Sometimes I think it might just be easier if I lived in a little hut in the woods (somewhere on a different planet of course, or else I might breathe in some chemicals). Or would that make life too hard?
Have you got any advice?
