› Will He Follow in My Footsteps?
The thought of sharing photography with him one day makes my heart so happy.
The curiosity is definitely there.
The camera is super old. I think I was 16 when I bought it.
When he saw me taking photos with my camera and trying to figure out how to get sharper focus, he suddenly ran off and grabbed my old digital camera from when I was younger.
Yes, it still works.
Seeing him become interested in the same hobby I love is honestly a feeling I can’t even describe properly.
I really hope his curiosity for photography stays as he gets older.
Just imagining little mother-and-son adventures with cameras, camera gear, and photo walks together gives me chills in the best way.
I’m manifesting it. -
› I Blame My ADHD and Its Impulse Decisions
Being bored and having ADHD is honestly a dangerous combination.
And I… oooph.
Having ADHD and being bored is honestly not a great combination.
My hair was dark chocolate brown with grey roots showing, and while I was relaxing (kind of) in front of the TV, I suddenly got the massive urge to dye my hair.
So I did.
I couldn’t fight the impulse.
The result?
Brown with red tones.
And honestly… it’s kinda pretty.
Normally I have neon red hair, but this time I wanted to try something different. I’ve never had brown and red mixed together before.
Maybe not showing so good but it’s a pretty color.

› 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.

› 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. -
› A Few Glimpses of My Tuesday
A Few Glimpses of My Tuesday
Today has been rainy all day, and honestly, I’m a little disappointed about it.
I wanted to go out and take sunset photos with tiny macro details, but yesterday the sun was way too harsh, and today the weather forecast promised the rain would stop in the morning.
Well… they were very wrong.
It has been raining all day, and it’s still raining right now.
Still, the day has been pretty calm.
I took the bus to bring my son some clothes, and on the way I ended up rescuing around 15 snails from the road so they wouldn’t get run over by bikes, scooters, or people walking past.
“Come here, little friend,” I caught myself saying every time I picked one up and moved it safely into the grass.
Which is funny, because I actually dislike bugs, snails, and all those tiny creatures… but somehow I still rescue snails. The ones with shells, at least.
Those giant black killer snails, though? Absolutely not.
So yes.
A rainy, sleepy, snail-rescuing kind of Tuesday.
Honestly, a pretty okay day.How was your day?
