› Movie I expected to hate.. hm
What’s a movie you expected to hate but ended up loving?
The truth is…
I hate watching movies
I don’t have patience for it. They are too long. I struggle watching YouTube as well.
But if I’m gonna write about a movie – even though i rarely watch – I had my mindset to hate Jumanji movie with Jack Black, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart.
I didn’t like the first movie but I wanted to see this one because of “daddy” – lol I call Jack Black that.
And honestly, the movie is tooooooo long and I don’t love it or like it. I’m neutral about it.
Note, I don’t find Kevin Hart nor Dwayne funny or good but that is just my opinion.
I saw this movie at the cinema and I never felt like i wanted to leave so fast as I did on this (except for Aquaman. The horror for me! I wanted to leave BEFORE I even put my foot through the door). It was so boring, no fun, nothing. I only stayed for Jack Black

› A Little Saturday Adventure
Cinnamon buns, tiny sunglasses, and a slow Saturday in town.
Glimpses of my Saturday, even though the day isn’t over yet.
Today, my son and I took the bus into town to meet up with M (his dad) and have a little Swedish fika together.
Well… E did, at least.
A cinnamon bun and a Cola Zero.
While M walked around the stores with E, I quietly snuck away to look for a pair of sunglasses for him.
I happened to spot a tiny pair in his size and bought them instantly.
So maybe now he can finally stop stealing mine.
He takes them constantly. Haha.
I was lucky though.
They were the last pair left.

› Somewhere warm, soon.
Dreaming about slower days, salty air, and quiet moments away from everyday life.
Lately I’ve been daydreaming a lot about traveling.
Warm evenings, slower days, salty air, camera walks, and finally feeling sunlight without immediately wanting to hide from the heat.
I keep imagining tiny moments already.
Late dinners outside.
Music in my headphones while walking somewhere unfamiliar.
Taking photos of random little details nobody else notices.
I think I need this trip more than I realized.
Not for big adventures, honestly.
Just to breathe differently for a little while.
I want to take photos and explore the less touristy sides of places. The hidden gems, quiet alleys, tiny details, real life, and small moments that most people walk past without noticing.
Just like I did in Italy.
I still remember the colorful houses, the sunsets, the sea, and even two nuns I randomly saw while walking around with my camera.
I felt strangely at home there.
Standing near the sea with my camera in my hand.
Calm.
Relaxed.
Mentally rested for the first time in a long while.
Exactly what my mind needs right now.
Quiet.
Calmness.
And just… breathing. -
› Meaning of life
What is the meaning of life?
Simple; my son
Reason? No reason needed. My son is what’s keeping me going. Who keeps me alive, to get up out of bed everyday etc.

› Back Outside Again
Finally Had Some Energy to Bring My Camera Out. I didn’t realize how much I missed this part of myself.
Sometimes all you need is a camera and a quiet walk.
I haven’t had much motivation or inspiration lately to bring my camera outside and spend time taking photos, clearing my mind, and just relaxing.
But yesterday, I finally did.
I was actually supposed to go out last Monday, but the sun was way too harsh all day, so there was no point. Then Tuesday ended up being rainy from morning to evening, and on Wednesday I simply didn’t have time.
So yesterday became the day.
And honestly? I was so happy.
Holding my camera again, focusing on tiny subjects, adjusting the aperture and ISO, listening to music while walking around… I had really missed it.
I didn’t actually take that many photos, but I still spent hours outside with my camera bag over my shoulder.
The straps hurt my arms though, so I first went to a clothing store and bought those non-slip bra straps to try and fix it. That didn’t help much, so later I ended up going to a hardware store and buying seatbelt protection for kids instead.
Surprisingly, it worked much better.
I also spent a few hours with my best friend. She came with me while I was looking for the seatbelt protection, and later we had dinner and milkshakes together.
When I got home, I edited the photos I took with my phone instead of the camera ones. I haven’t even checked the camera photos properly yet because I noticed while shooting that the focus kept landing on the bugs’ bodies instead of their heads.
Still, this whole day reminded me how much I miss this part of myself.
Spending hours outside with music in my ears and a camera in my hands makes my whole body feel calmer.
I really need to get back into it.
