I have been reading a series of books which follows a family through their emigration from Sweden to America, and in so doing, some people die, others are born, and the world keeps on spinning. But because of a similar theme in the book and my life (having recently emigrated from England to Sweden), my thoughts have settled on some of the thoughts and feelings these characters had.

I wonder if I will ever live in England again, I miss my family back home, and I wish we could live in the same country. I worry that with all that I want to achieve, will it get done, and will I have fun doing it? And who knows how much time I even have? Perhaps I should do some of those more important things and not wait. The future is so uncertain! I try to do my best, and I think for the most part I’m doing okay, it’s just the uncertainty I cannot stand.
