› Spring Mood and mental health.
How are you guys? Happy Easter! I know I’m late but we still celebrate Easter in Sweden. Well we don’t celebrate it but many swedes do. Honestly I don’t know how to celebrate Easter except go out and “trick or treat” as you do on Halloween but instead saying “trick or treat” you say “Happy Easter” and receive candy or money. Weird for me and no I’m not taking my son out doing that.
Anyway, let’s continue.
It is official.. Spring is here in Sweden!! The other day as I walked to the bus from school, a little small ladybug flew and sat on my shirt. I noticed it when I was standing at the busstop.
one little bug can make a person happy. It’s officially spring and summer is on its way! So hard to believe it though. Long cold, freezing cold winter is finally over for this time.
I cant wait to the sun, warmth, being able to sunbathing, go for long long walks again. Such a motivation.
I also feel that my mental health is getting a bit better. It is still there but a lot better. Working hard towards recovery is a long way but I have managed to move a few steps forward which makes me so happy. Having bad days is normal though for people and I still have them but I think I’m out of the deepest funk that I have been in. Woho.
Goals for the Spring season; Get better mentally • try lose some weight • work hard in school even though I know im gonna fail this semester but atleast I’m trying • try to become the Emma I use to be ●● oh, start planning for the vacation! So much to plan when traveling with an autistic child.
Do you have any plans for the Spring season?

› Winter wonderland
It has been snowing crazy where I live and it still snows! unfortunately I forgot my camera today when I went out but hopefully it’s this beautiful on the trees tomorrow as well when the weather app says it’s gonna snow all night and tomorrow.
Hi, good evening or goodnight in my case. I have been up since 1am and it’s now over 9pm so I decided to go to bed early today. E woke up and refused to go back to sleep but luckily he is sleeping since 1h ago.
So good news is that I’m feeling better and probably will go to the gym tomorrow and also school. I have already checked with nurses and they said if I’m symptoms free and have no fever tomorrow (which is today. I asked this yesterday) I can go tomorrow (thursday). woopwoop. What have I done to make myself feel better? Well, I didn’t get any medication from the HCC so I had to try harder with home remedies. Painkillers, burning hot tea like every 1 hour, lemon, ginger etc and also the astma meds I had to take more off (with permission from a “hotline” the people in Sweden can call when sick, need advice etc).
Hopefully I will feel good or even better tomorrow because I need to get back into my routines with school, workout, photography, editing etc. I miss having enery and structure so it’s time to beat the funk in the ass and get better (im talking about in general now.. mental health etc).
Short post but I’m here. Goodnight you beautiful souls!

› Photowalk with thoughts that needed to be clear.
While I was outside for a photo walk alone I had a chance to think of a lot of things. Such as photography thoughts, school, future etc.
Hi everyone! The sickness is still going strong but I felt i had to get out for a bit. I had a gazillion thoughts going on and I remembered that photography used to make me de-stress for a bit. So I grabbed my gear and went out. 3 hours. I got dressed really warm and I was sweating outside. I felt many times to remove jackets but I did not.
My experience about this area where I live (first time photography walk like this); it’s pretty here but it’s not really a lot of taking pictures here. Which is sad.
The thoughts that went on in my head was a lot as you can read above. Why do I really wanna do photography? is it for de-stress? do I have interest in it? etc etc . Yes I questioned myself but the conclusion of my thoughts; photography has always been an interest for me. I love it. And yes it is a de-stressing moment for me. Simple; I just simply love it.
So even thought I am sick I went outside. Ofcourse I didn’t go near people (I didn’t even see one when outside) and I was careful.
now im suffering after the walk because I was lying down on the ground, stood in weird positions, climbing etc just to get THE picture. Unfortunately the sharpness was really bad on most of the pictures but it’s fine. Now I’m suffering with a lot of pain in my back . Was it worth it? Yes! But now my cough and sneezing has escalated so it hurts even more.

› Most unique and spectacular architecture i have ever seen.
it was a magical building. My husband and I went to the city the other day. After our meeting we had some time to kill so we went to a library / museum. It was one of the most spectacular architecture i have ever seen.
Library on one side and museum on the other side. Unfortunately I didn’t walk around in the museum because I think it would be boring to look around by myself. M didn’t want to go check. Maybe an other time.
The city is called Sundsvall which is located 2h from where we live. It’s an unique town to be honest. I took more photos and I will share them later 🥰

› Photopgrahy, but… is this it? Only this?
Expanding my equipment for future photography. The other day I bought a camera (not expensive. Pretty good deal for an almost brand new.
I’ve also clicked home some filters a new objective to try, memory cards etc. I only had two 4GB cards so I ordered a 256GB (I think it was) and one 64GB (I think.. lol!)
Meeting, shopping and home to relax. Today has been a very painful day for me. Girls, if you know you know..
After my meeting I went window shopping but ended up at H&M and bought a super soft cardigan. Before I always wore cardigans but I stopped. Don’t know why so now after few years I’m hopefully back to it.
A cardigan for me is timeless, simple yet a clothing item that completes a look. Love it! 💕
I can not wait til the new objective / lens has arrived! It said earlier today that it would arrive tomorrow but now they changed to Friday! Ugh@ the frustration!

I also wait for packages from Shein. But it’s nothing for me unfortunately but for my son. It is his birthday next Saturday (Nov 2nd) and he is obsessed with busses and vehicles. So I hopped on Shein (I’ve been very lucky and is very pleased with my purchases from there) to check for toys in alright prices. Of course I am not hoping that they are at the best quality but a decent type of quality. As long as no tiny parts can come off etc I will be glad.
